If one new report is accurate, almost one-third of Premier League clubs want to sign Liverpool’s Rhian Brewster this summer.

The 20-year-old hitman dazzled during a half-season loan at Swansea City last term, scoring 11 goals.

And some top-flight sides – including Leeds United in July – have been linked with trying to sign the Liverpool gem.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp said last week that he’s in no rush to decide his striker’s future.

But there could be pressure to do so because according to Goal.com, a minimum of six of the remaining 19 Premier League teams are interested in signing Brewster this summer.

The report adds that a loan away from Anfield is the most likeliest option as opposed to a permanent departure.

Brewster’s star is rising and it might make sense for Liverpool to accept one of these potential loan proposals.

One full season in the big time, with somebody like Leeds, could do absolute wonders for the youngster and might set him up very nicely to make a real dart for Klopp’s senior side this time next year.

Marcelo Bielsa is one heck of a man-manager and there’s just no telling how much better he could become if he got the chance to play under and learn from the veteran Leeds boss next term.
