CLUBS ALL OUT TO TY UP BAGGIE

Coleman: If Klopp had played at internatio­nal level like me and Conte then he would know why I picked Woodburn

SWANSEA, Brighton and Sunderland are all keen to sign up Wales’ rising star Tyler Roberts.

The 18-year-old forward has scored three times in his last appearance­s for Walsall, on loan from West Brom. And Roberts (left) has been named in the Wales Under-21 squad for their game against Liechtenst­ein on October 5.

All three clubs have been monitoring his progress. And such has been Roberts’ impact with the Saddlers, boss Jon Whitney is trying to extend his loan spell beyond January.

Whitney joked: “I would like to sign him on a three-year contract, but I don’t think that is going to happen!”

CHRIS COLEMAN reckons Jurgen Klopp would not have questioned Kop starlet Ben Woodburn’s Wales call-up if he had played internatio­nal football himself.
