Who is Liverpool-owned Sheffield Wednesday loan target Rhian Brewster and who else is interested in him?

The Owls are rumoured to face competition from several Championship rivals for the England youth international, who comes with a reputation as one of the brightest talents in world football.

But who is Rhian Brewster and what would he offer Garry Monk’s men? Let’s take a look at his career so far..

Who is he and what’s he done?

Aged just 19, Brewster has already developed a reputation in the game, having transferred from Chelsea to Liverpool in 2014 and become a star man in England youth sides.

The 5ft11 striker is one of the leading lights in top tier under-23 football and attracted headlines for his starring role in the 2017 under-17 World Cup.

Brewster scored a total of eight goals in the tournament, including hat-tricks in both the quarter and semi-final, and was awarded the Golden Boot as top scorer.

A serious knee injury suffered last year has curtailed his ascension into the Liverpool first team and although Jurgen Klopp spoke of his desire to integrate him into the side, he is yet to make a Premier League appearance.

What sort of player is he?

Brewster has played the vast majority of his football as a central striker, contributing 13 goals and 11 assists in 35 appearances there at all levels.

He can also play on the left of a front three or as a second striker.

Fast and direct, Brewster is a strong finisher who thrives on fast movement.

What sort of person is he?

He’s not shied away from difficult issues in his time and in December 2017 he spoke to the Guardian about racial abuse he had suffered while playing for England.

Quietly-spoken, the youngster is understood to hold his own in the Anfield changing room and is close friends with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who he spent several months alongside undergoing rehab last year.

What are the chances of Wednesday signing him?

Swansea are understood to be favourites to sign Brewster, though Wednesday are also said to be facing competition from Leeds, Preston and Huddersfield.
