Freddie Woodman has joined Liverpool from Preston North End in a free transfer, according to Premier League champions Liverpool.

The 28-year-old is about to end his contract, having made 22 appearances for the Championship side last season.

Woodman will start pre-season training with Arne Slot’s squad next month, according to Liverpool’s announcement on Friday.

Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili need experienced cover as Vitezslav Jaros and Harvey Davies are both on loan from Valencia until the end of the current season.

Caoimhin Kelleher was sold to Brentford earlier this year for a potential £18 million fee.

Woodman has represented Preston, Kilmarnock, Swansea City, and Newcastle United. He won the World Cup with England Under-20s in 2017.

Woodman does not need to play one of Liverpool’s 17 non-homegrown slots on the Uefa squad because he meets the requirements for an “association trained” player.
