The Liverpool striker is out of contract this summer, and Klopp reportedly wants to promote Brewster into the first-team fold.
According to a report from the Times, Jurgen Klopp is determined to get the best out of Rhian Brewster, and sees the Liverpool striker as a replacement for Daniel Sturridge.
The 29-year-old Reds hitman is out of contract in the summer, and rather than bring in a replacement, the Times claims that Klopp will integrate Brewster into the first-team squad.
The 19-year-old is still yet to make a senior appearance for Liverpool, but he has impressed for the club’s youth teams, scoring 15 goals in 36 appearances.
Brewster has only just returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines, and has already shown glimpses of what he is capable of.
Whether he is ready for the jump up to the first-team next season, however, is debatable.
The teenager is a real talent, but it will surely concern Liverpool fans that Klopp is panning to replace one injury prone player with another.
Sturridge has been nothing more than an expensive luxury over the past few seasons, and if Liverpool truly want to make the jump up to the next level, Klopp must surely spend big on another striker this summer, whilst giving Brewster time to acclimatise to the demands of first-team football.
