Who will play up front with Sheffield United's imminent signing Rhian Brewster?

It is understood that Sheffield United have agreed a record-breaking £23.5 million deal with Liverpool for the highly-rated striker – one that includes a buy-back clause and a sell-on clause, should Brewster’s time at Bramall Lane be as successful as it is expected to be.

The 20-year-old has been in Sheffield to complete the paperwork on the terms of his deal at Bramall Lane and undergo a medical.

Should the move be confirmed by 12pm today, Brewster will be eligible to go straight into the squad to face Arsenal on Sunday.

Brewster, who spent last season on loan at Swansea in the Championship, has been described as a born goalscorer by Liverpool expert Henry Jackson on these pages.

But where would he fit in at Bramall Lane, and what combination of strikers could suit his strengths? Let's have a look...

Billy Sharp

If Brewster was to arrive at Bramall Lane before Monday's deadline, he would do so with huge potential but, in terms of actual first-team football, not too much pedigree. He did well at Swansea last season, scoring 11 times, and what better role model to learn from than the highest scorer in the English leagues since the turn of the millennium?

Sharp and Brewster may be at different stages of their respective careers, but Sharp remains the best finisher at United and Brewster would only improve his game if he was to study Sharp's and learn from the United skipper.

But a combination of Sharp and Brewster wouldn't offer much height, which is where another ex-Swans frontman comes in...

Oli McBurnie

Despite a fair bit of criticism from United's fanbase so far this season, McBurnie came off the bench against Leeds on Sunday and gave United a different dimension to their attack.

For a player who appears, for the want of a better description, gangly, McBurnie's stats in aerial duels are impressive and Brewster will surely fancy himself to get on the end of the countless flick-ons McBurnie seems to win every game.

If the industrial option isn't helping unlock defences, United could always try invention...

David McGoldrick

Probably, in my view at least, the most skilful of United's current crop of strikers, McGoldrick loves to drop deep into midfield to pick up the ball and try and link play - something that would be unlikely to bother Brewster, given his use as a lone striker at Swansea last season.

McGoldrick's flick for John Lundstram against Leeds highlighted once again both his intelligence and football ability, and such a selfless player would have no qualms over providing goals for others, rather than score them, as long as it meant United win the game. But on those occasions when all-out pace is called for...

Oli Burke

Although Brewster does not possess the blistering pace that Burke can offer, he is nevertheless quick and pitting the two players together would ensure opposition defences being hit with the one thing that is guaranteed to worry them, at any level - pace.

In his appearances so far since his summer move from West Brom, Burke has shown that he is not just a speed-merchant and also has the vision and touch to set up his teammates.

Lys Mousset may also offer an option when he returns to full fitness, after going under the knife to correct a toe injury. Brewster would clearly improve United's striker options, if and when he puts pen to paper... but after such a long and drawn-out pursuit, and given United's position in the table, the pressure - rightly or wrongly - will be on almost instantly for him to hit the ground running.
