Liverpool have fielded half-a-dozen enquiries from Premier League clubs about loaning Rhian Brewster for the coming season.
The 20-year-old striker enjoyed a hugely successful second half of last term with Swansea, netting 11 times in 22 appearances under his former England Under-17 manager Steve Cooper.
Brewster's goals helped fire the Swans to the Championship play-off semi-finals and the England Under-21 international is now back with his parent club in Austria on their pre-season training camp.
Following Brewster's goal-laden spell in the Championship, a string of clubs have contacted Liverpool about loaning the forward for the new campaign.
Aston Villa, Newcastle, Burnley, Brighton, Crystal Palace and newly-promoted Fulham have all reached out to check on the possibility of taking Brewster for the 2020/21 season.
Norwich, Bournemouth and Watford - last season's three relegated clubs - have also been in touch, it is understood, but Liverpool are not rushing the decision as Brewster continues to work with his Premier League title-winning team-mates in Saalfelden.

The ECHO understands Liverpool will make sure any loan move away from Anfield will be to either a Premier League club or a top-flight European outfit.
However, the Reds are known to leave no stone unturned in their efforts to find the right path for their loanees and if an agreeable proposal cannot be found for Brewster, he will remain with the first-team squad for the new campaign.
Anfield insiders have long held high hopes for Brewster and were hugely encouraged by his performances at the Liberty Stadium in the second half of last term.
The initial plan had been to blood Brewster into the fold gently in the Premier League last season but Jurgen Klopp was unable to give him any minutes in the top flight due to the close-fought nature of so many of Liverpool's games.
Instead, the striker's trio of appearances came in cup competitions against MK Dons, Arsenal and Everton with the Reds winning all three.
The move to south Wales in January proved to be a smart one and Brewster says he has returned to the Reds with designs on making his mark during the pre-season schedule.
"Of course I want to be at Liverpool next season, be fighting for a spot to play," he said last week. "Who is not going to want to play at the home of the champions?
Of course you're not really wanting to go on loan but if that's the best thing for me to do in that situation, so I'm going to get more gametime then that's what I'm going to do.
"But realistically, I want to play at Liverpool, I want to be 'the striker'."
