Teenage Carlisle United defender joins Workington Reds on loan
The 17-year-old west Cumbrian has linked up with Darren Edmondson's squad on a work experience deal.
Atkinson, who impressed for United's first team in pre-season, has joined the Reds for a month.
He could make his debut in Saturday's Northern Premier League Premier Division trip to Hednesford Town.
The Cleator Moor prospect recently signed his first two-year professional deal at Brunton Park after some good pre-season performances.
Head coach Mark Hughes has been impressed by Atkinson's progress and United now hope the centre-back will gain good first-team experience under former Blues player and coach Edmondson at Borough Park.
Reds are seeking an early-season boost after defeats in their opening two league games, a 6-0 thrashing at Stockton Town on Tuesday following last Saturday's 2-1 home reverse to Whitby Town.

Report – Inter Milan Target €20m Rated Udinese Star To Replace Ex Bayern Munich Defender
Inter Milan are reportedly targeting Udinese defender Oumar Solet as a replacement for Benjamin Pavard if the Frenchman leaves. This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan are still thinking about signing a defender before the transfer window. The Nerazzurri have missed out on one big target in the form of Koni De Winter. The Belgian has joined AC Milan. Meanwhile, Parma's Giovanni Leoni will join Liverpool. However, there are other options for Inter to consider. And particularly if Inter were to sell Benjamin Pavard, they will certainly sign a replacement. The former Bayern Munich defender is a target for Galatasaray. Inter Target Udinese Defender Solet To Replace Pavard VERONA, ITALY – JANUARY 04: Oumar Solet of Udinese Calcio runs with the ball during the Serie A match between Verona and Udinese at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on January 04, 2025 in Verona, Italy. (Photo by) One defender who Inter have been targeting for some time is Udinese's Oumar Solet. The Frenchman had already convinced the Nerazzurri with his performances in his first few months in Serie A after joining Udinese last January. Therefore, reports SportMediaset, Solet would be at the top of Inter's list to replace Pavard if the former Bayern Munich defender leaves this summer.

Liverpool signs teenage Italian defender Giovanni Leoni
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool's offseason spending passed 300 million pounds ($400 million) after completing the signing of 18-year-old Parma defender Giovanni Leoni on Friday. The Italy Under-19 international was contracted for six years for 26 million pounds plus add-ons. He was to be at Anfield for the Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Friday night. Leoni previously played for Padova and Sampdoria. He joined Parma a year ago and impressed. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate were the established center backs, and Leoni will vie with Joe Gomez to challenge them. 'Because it's one of the best clubs in the world it's not possible to say no to this club,' Leoni told 'I'm so honored. I was very happy (about Liverpool being interested). When I saw this I said, 'Wow, this is crazy.'' Liverpool also remained interested in Crystal Palace center back Marc Guehi, although discussions have stalled over a fee for a player in the final year of his contract. Despite signing eight new players, Liverpool has recouped almost 200 million pounds in sales following the departures of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Caoihmhin Kelleher, Tyler Morton and Nat Phillips.
