Newcastle United must swoop for Liverpool forward Rhian Brewster as the deal would benefit all parties involved.
Magpies boss Rafa Benitez needs to sign an exciting capable forward desperately in this window in order to improve his squad and while Brewster may not have the experience to back his ability up, he’s more than capable of being the man Benitez is searching for.
The pacey 18-year-old forward will be chomping at the bit to prove himself in the Premier League after showing he has an eye for goal at youth-level.
Brewster scored five goals in 11 Premier League 2 outings in his 2017/18 campaign and previously scored an impressive 20 goals in 23 appearances for England’s U-17s.
Given the Reds forward’s eye for goal and his exciting pace it is easy to see that he could be an instant success in England’s top-flight if given a chance.
In fact Brewster has a fantastic attitude shown by the fact, as reported The Sun, he has made it his priority to ensure he’s guaranteed a chance of playing regular senior football in the upcoming season.
The newspaper even state that the teenager will look to go on loan in search of regular football, if he can’t see his priority met at the Reds, as he is aware that he faces tough competition getting into the first-team at Anfield.
The Reds will no doubt also love to see Brewster consistently exposed to senior football as it will help him continue his promising development and take his career to the next stage.
A loan move is the ideal situation for them as the attacker can return a much better player after a spell away while ensuring that his long-term future is as a Reds player.
However aside from benefiting Jurgen Klopp and Brewster, the forward’s desire for senior football plays right into Benitez’s hands to find a forward to help his side next season.
According to the latest update, via the Chronicle, on the club’s stance about incoming players it seems that the Magpies have another summer of wheeling and dealing to get deals done due to an underwhelming budget.
This means their options will be limited due to their maximum spend and Brewster would be a fantastic option to take on loan which will see the club getting the talented forward they require without a huge lump sum being needed.
Benitez no doubt has contacts at the Reds which he can utilise to get Brewster to St James Park with no fuss if the forward is to go out on loan.
Therefore after the exciting forward’s priority was revealed the Magpies must swoop to wrap up a deal for his services as he could be exactly what they need and what they can afford.
