Liverpool winger Ben Woodburn has joined Scottish side Hearts on a season-long loan.

It was the Wales international's fourth successive season away from Anfield.

And Hearts manager Robbie Neilson could hardly contain his excitement over his newest acquisition.

"I'm really pleased that we've got this one over the line. Ben is a top class player with Premier League and international experience and he was really eager to join us," Neilson told the club's website.

"He's an exciting player, one who I think will fit really well into our style of play. He's quick, direct and can bring us different options in the final third. I'm looking forward to working with him and I hope that he will be a success here at Hearts."
