Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been told to send Reds starlet Rhian Brewster to Leeds United on loan over any other club this January.
The 19-year-old is a wanted man, with Swansea City also interested in his services, along with Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
Swans boss Steve Cooper is an admirer of the striker, having worked with him in the England set up, and he is set to leave Anfield next month in order to secure game-time.
Cooper spoke of him during a press conference earlier this month.
Speaking about the English attacker before the clash with West Brom, the he said: "I know him really well. He’s a good lad and a good player.
"I follow a lot of players’ careers that I’ve worked with, both at club and international level, and he's one that's had a bit of bad luck with injuries, but it’s good to see him back and fit.
"I definitely like him as a player and a person and I wish him well whatever happens, like I do with all of the boys I've worked with."
It appears the battle for his signature is between Swansea and Marcelo Bielsa's side, and former player-turned-pundit Noel Whelan has told Klopp to send Brewster to Elland Road.
He explained : “There is obviously interest from Leeds in Brewster and I’m sure there are a queue of clubs wanting to take him. But Leeds have a good chance, definitely.
“A huge thing in Leeds’ favour is that Marcelo Bielsa is a great coach and Leeds play in a similar way to Liverpool – build out from the back, press from the front, high energy, smooth passing combinations and an aggressive playing style.
“That’s how Leeds signed Jack Harrison from Man City. Jurgen Klopp will be aware of that, and how Harrison has developed under Bielsa.
“Klopp will be keen for Brewster to join Leeds and learn under Bielsa. It’s probably in Klopp’s mind to send him to a team that play a similar style of football to Liverpool, and that’s where Leeds will fit the bill.
“The issue is how much game time he would have, as Patrick Bamford is the number one centre-forward at Leeds.”
The Whites also have Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah on loan, which could complicate matters for Bielsa. The Gunners youngster has struggled for minutes in Yorkshire which could feature in Brewster and Liverpool's thinking ahead of any loan move.
