Liam Boyce could be bound for German Bundesliga

Liam Boyce scored 19 goals in a superb season for Cliftonville

Cliftonville striker Liam Boyce is to travel to Germany to discuss personal terms over a possible move to Bundesliga 2 side SpVgg Greuther.

The German side were granted permission to hold talks with the 19-year-old and talks are ongoing between the clubs.

Boyce went on a pre-season trial with Celtic during the summer and has also been linked with moves to other major English and Spanish clubs.

He was named the NI football writers' player of the year in May.

Boyce scored 19 goals in his debut season with Cliftonville, helping the Belfast club finish second in the Carling Premiership.

Boyce is considered to be one of the Irish League's most promising young players and Reds boss Eddie Patterson must know he is unlikely to remain at Cliftonville for much longer.
