Rhian Brewster

He'll get more first team minutes there, and its not such a step up from his current level, like our first team. If anything, its a step down from the under 23 league

[Fosterbloke]

Maybe Gerrard can take him to Rangers on loan?

[BigChief]

Yes! Can't think of a better manager, club and league for his development.

He's nothing like Benteke!

Easy, buy back clause.

Easy, buy back clause.

We don't have a contract with him so development fee would all he'd go for. But he is injured and we've treated him well so I'd be surprised if he left.

[Assassin]

No drama. If he doesn't think he is good enough to play for us, so be it

[RedReet]

Obviously as a fan it's impossible to be impartial, but even at that it's difficult to understand why a young player would want to leave the club with what's happening here at the minute.

Brave call for him if he does go down that route, but I'll be surprised if he does.

Bascombe did a piece in March, saying Brewster would train with the first team (after recovering from his injury) during pre-season, with a view of putting him in matchday squads.

It looks like Brewster is looking for a sort of guarantee regarding game time, especially with the likes of Ings and Solanke on the books, and with Origi and Wilson set to return. All of the forementioned players are decent in terms of their age, so really, he's probably holding out to see all of his options first.

He's looking at the likes of Jadon Sancho, Ademola Lookman, Reece Oxford and one other English guy, forgot the name, who are all playing regularly and developing there after struggling to get minutes in England - and they were probably all more prominent talents than him.

"What's happening here at the minute" is that we have one of the, if not the best and most irreplecable front threes in Europe, and then players like Solanke, Ings, Woodburn, Origi and Wilson who are either getting scraps, loans or aren't playing at all.

He probably looks at Woodburn, who hasn't played all year, or at Solanke, who's surely better than what he shows, but can't possibly show it because he only gets 15 minutes every fool moon. Now the fans are on his back, confidence is probably shattered - no thanks, I'd probably look elsewhere too.

Just had a quick look on Wiki, Sancho has played 11 times, Lookman 10 and Oxford 4 and 3 (over two periods), compared to Solanke's 20 appearances for us. Hardly tearing it up in Germany.

They are also the supposed success stories. Things didn't go so well for Kent over there, so if that was a permanent move he'd probably be stuck playing reserve football away from his friends and family.

Also, our attack is all about pace, so if Brewster really backed his talent and thinks he's good enough for 1st team football, there is no reason he couldn't move ahead of the likes of Ings and Solanke.

What fans are on his back BTW?

[labourRed]

Solanke's back.

[RedReet]

Solanke's back.

Liverpool still hoping to convince Rhian Brewster to sign new deal despite interest from Germany

Bundesliga clubs hoping to sign the talented 18-year-old this summer

Liverpool are still hoping to convince striker Rhian Brewster to spurn interest from the Bundesliga and commit his future to the club this summer.

The England youth international has turned down a number of offers from Liverpool to sign a professional contract and his representatives have been keen to explore a potential move to Germany.

Borussia Monchengladbach and RB Leipzig have both registered their interest in the 18-year-old frontman, who won the Golden Boot at last year’s Under-17 World Cup.

However, Liverpool haven’t given up the fight with Jurgen Klopp making it clear that he would be part of the first-team squad next season if he stays put.

The ECHO understands that Liverpool have triggered the third year of Brewster’s Academy scholarship which means that no club is currently allowed to approach him. Anyone doing so at this stage will run the risk of being reported for tapping-up the youngster.

But Brewster could still opt to leave in the summer and Anfield officials understand the lure of the Bundesliga for an English player of his age.

He would be following in the footsteps of international team-mate Jadon Sancho, who snubbed a pro deal with Manchester City before signing for Borussia Dortmund last August. The 18-year-old has since made 11 league appearances for Dortmund.

Under FIFA rules, Liverpool would only be guaranteed a compensation payment of around £200,000 for Brewster if he went to Germany. However, such was the interest in Sancho that City negotiated a deal rising to £10million with Dortmund and the Reds value Brewster around the same level.

Brewster, who joined the Kirkby Academy from Chelsea in 2015, was first offered a heavily incentivised pro deal by the Reds when he turned 17 last year and once again following his 18th birthday last month.
