Oxford United are in negotiations over a deal for academy forward Max Woltman from Liverpool.

The 19-year-old has been with Liverpool since the age of seven, even playing in the first team against AC Milan in December 2021.

He spent part of last season at Doncaster Rovers, while he was with Liverpool's Under-23s for the second period of the campaign.

“We're talking to Liverpool and exploring what that looks like," said Oxford United manager Liam Manning.

“It's more of a development project than it is coming in and impacting the team straight away.

“In terms of the personality he was and the character he showed, and some of the quality he showed in glimpses, I think he's the type of player that fits how we want to play.

“When you look at the competition in his position with Ruben Rodrigues and Billy Bodin, what we don't have is the next one coming up under that.

“It depends on what the deal looks like, that's the big bit. It's all on what the deal looks like ultimately."
