Liverpool 'close to deal' for PNE's former keeper
Lancashire Evening Post
|June 30, 2025
Liverpool are reportedly set to sign Freddie Woodman following his exit from Preston North End.
The former Newcastle United shot-stopper joined the Lilywhites in the summer of 2022, and was PNE's number one for three seasons.
He made 138 appearances, kept 44 clean sheets and won the Lilywhites' Player of the Year award in 2022/23.
This summer saw the 28-year-old - who had loan spells at Swansea, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock earlier in his career - depart upon the expiry of his contract at Deepdale.
A move to Manchester United was strongly suggested in the media earlier in the summer.
