According to The Star, Rhian Brewster’s advisors would prefer him to join Sheffield United, despite interest from Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
The report claims that those close to the Liverpool striker feel a move to Bramall Lane with Chris Wilder would provide the best environment for him to flourish, instead of a move to London or the Midlands.
The Daily Mail recently revealed that West Brom also want the 20-year-old, who scored 11 goals in 22 appearances while on loan at Swansea last season.
The Star’s report also adds that Liverpool are demanding a fee of around £20 million for their academy graduate, who is definitely needed at Sheffield United given their start to the campaign.
Wilder’s men have failed to score in their first three Premier League games this season.
They drew a blank in the 2-0 defeat to Wolves, and also suffered 1-0 defeats to Aston Villa and Leeds.
The Blades need a hitman they can rely on.
In that respect, perhaps Bramall Lane would be the best place for Brewster right now seeing as he’ll surely get game-time under his belt, given Wilder’s goalscoring woes.
In comparison, perhaps a club like Aston Villa, who have just spent big to bring Ollie Watkins and Bertrand Traore to Villa Park, wouldn’t be the ideal environment right now given the competition.
The Star’s update will come as bad news to Villa, Palace and West Brom given their reported hopes of landing the Liverpool forward, although there is still time until the deadline on October 5th to convince the striker otherwise.
