Championship side Swansea sign highly-rated Liverpool forward

Championship side Swansea City has signed Liverpool forward Rhian Brewster on loan for the remainder of the season.

The highly-rated 19-year-old has struggled to establish himself as a prolific and dependable attacker in Anfield owing to the lack of playtime under his belt.

He has only managed to feature in three fixtures for Liverpool first team, all coming in the League Cup and FA Cup this season.

With the highflying established attackers in the squad, the 19-year-old will seek to keep his sharpness with a move away from the Merseyside.

The lad rose to fame when England won the under-17 World Cup in 2017 but has failed to replicate a fine form under manager Jurgen Klopp.

Brester was an unused substitute in Liverpool’s Champions League 2 -0 win victory over Tottenham Hotspur in an all-English final last season.

The England Under-21 will link up once again with Swansea boss Steve Cooper, former manager of the England Under-17 World Cup-winning side.

Swansea, who sit sixth in the Championship, confirmed Brewster would be available for Sunday’s derby clash with rivals Cardiff as he looks to help guide the club back into the Premier League.

“I’ve come here to try and play a lot of games and score a lot of goals for Swansea,” Brewster told Swansea’s website.

“It’s a great club. I’ve been watching them for ages – particularly when they were in the Premier League.

“Hopefully, I can help them get back to where they belong. At this moment in time, Swansea is the best team for me to join on loan. I want to help Swansea get promoted.”
