Aston Villa and Newcastle United are among the clubs interested in signing Rhian Brewster from Liverpool in the summer transfer window, according to Goal.com.

It has been reported that Villa manager Dean Smith wants to sign Brewster on loan from Premier League rivals Liverpool this summer.

Newcastle have made an enquiry for the 20-year-old striker, and so have Burnley, Brighton and Hove Albion, Crystal Palace and Fulham, according to the report.

Norwich City, Bournemouth and Watford also want to secure the services of the youngster on a loan deal, according to the report.

Leaving Liverpool on loan

According to Goal.com, Liverpool believe that a loan spell at a club in the Premier League team would be ‘the ideal next step’ for the 20-year-old.

The England Under-21 international spent the second half of the past season on loan at Swansea City, and scored 11 goals in 22 Championship matches, according to WhoScored.

It is going to be hard for Brewster to establish himself in the Liverpool first team next season, and a loan move away does make sense and will help in his development as a footballer.
