The 18-year-old forward has made 10 appearances for Liverpool since making his debut against Sunderland in the Premier League last November.
The Welshman also had an international debut to remember in September, scoring the winner in their 1-0 win over Austria.

He has represented Wales three times since, though he was powerless to prevent the Republic of Ireland from pipping Wales to a World Cup play-off spot earlier this month.
“It’s an unbelievable feeling to sign a new contract with Liverpool,” Woodburn told the club’s website.
This is the club I want to stay at and be here as long as possible. When I was told, all I wanted to do was sign the contract.
“It feels good. Now I just want to carry on and hopefully show the manager what I can do.”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp expressed his delight with Woodburn's new deal.
“This is brilliant news, although without sounding complacent about it, it is absolutely not a surprise," the German told the club's website.
“Ben knows how committed we are to him and he and his family know this is the best environment for him to grow, learn more and become even better and better.
What a talent this young man is. We don’t call him the Prince of Wales for nothing, although judging by his facial expression when we do he would probably be happy if we stopped with this!
