Rhian Brewster transfer latest as Rangers linked striker set for key Liverpool talks over next move

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has outlined plans for discussions with Rhian Brewster over his future.

The 20-year-old has been linked with a loan move to Rangers, where he'd link up with Anfield legend Steven Gerrard.

The youngster is currently on loan at Swansea City, and has hit seven goals in 14 games since moving in January.

Brewster has impressed in the Championship but is unlikely to force his way into the Liverpool first XI for next season.

Former England youth coach Steve Cooper has been credited with Brewster's revival, and he's been linked with a switch to Ibrox to work with another mentor.

Klopp said: "The plan with Rhian (is) we will talk to him.

"But it (the loan) was unbelievably important and I’m really happy we had the opportunity to do so.

"In his first proper senior year he had an awful injury.

"He needed a long time and that’s why we said immediately when he came back it made no sense to be here as third striker. It was a lot different to other situations.

"He was really happy that he could go to his former coach who knew him from the youth national team.

"They really wanted him and it’s really important for a young striker, because they cannot score every week but they still should stay on the pitch.

"He played a good season and Rhian showed his talent. For the moment it’s nearly perfect but how it will be next year we will talk with him and his representatives."
