Arsenal and Liverpool have two of the best young strikers in England.
Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford are making a big impact for England as well as Manchester United, but a fresh wave of talent is threatening to one day catch up with them.
Arsenal got a glimpse of the future – and perhaps the present if they are brave enough – last night with Eddie Nketiah’s dream impact.
Nketiah came off the bench to inspire a 2-1 comeback win over Norwich City, scoring both goals.
Nketiah is Arsenal’s big hope, and has scored at a prolific rate for the Gunners at academy level.
England should rightly get excited about him, but he may not be the most exciting young striker in England.
That could be Liverpool sensation Rhian Brewster, who has been starring for their table topping under-23 side this season.
Brewster has led England’s under-17 side to the World Cup final-final, and has 15 goals in 17 games at international youth level.
He has three goals and four assists for Liverpool’s under-23s in six games this season, and Nketiah’s Arsenal success will only inspire him further.
Arsene Wenger will find it tough to keep Nketiah on the sidelines for much longer, and Jurgen Klopp should start considering giving Brewster opportunities too when he is back available.
