According to the Daily Mail, West Bromwich Albion have joined several clubs keen on signing Liverpool forward Rhian Brewster this summer.

The England U21 international is one of the most sought-after players this summer.

His form while on loan at Swansea City in the Championship has prompted the likes of Aston Villa, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace to seek a deal for him.

Now, the Daily Mail claim West Brom are also in the running.

Liverpool, however, would seek at least a £20 million fee plus bonuses for Brewster if the Reds sell permanently while any loan deal will have penalties for not playing.

West Brom are said to be keen to bolster their attacking options.

The Baggies earned promotion to the Premier League after finishing second in last season’s Championship, but they didn’t exactly set the league alight.

Kenneth Zohore is seemingly out of favour, while Charlie Austin is now 31. Hal Robson-Kanu and Callum Robinson, meanwhile, raise questions over their ability.

West Brom’s chances of survival this season may come down to whether they can improve their attack and bring in a player who can score enough goals.

Brewster, 20, netted ten goals in 20 Championship games for the Swans. He is highly-rated by Liverpool, and he seems ready for a season at Premier League level.

The Daily Mail, meanwhile, also claim Watford’s Andre Gray is a possible option for West Brom, while the Baggies also still look to strengthen elsewhere.
