Liverpool had reportedly been ready to fast track Rhian Brewster before the Celtic links popped up.

Celtic have been linked with a move for young Liverpool prospect Rhian Brewster.

The Herald reports Celtic have opened talks over signing Brewster on a loan deal.

It would be a real achievement if they could get a deal done, as it would mean Liverpool changing their plans for next season.

The Times reported just one month ago that Liverpool have already made up their minds to fast track Brewster into their first team squad for 2018/19.

The report stated that manager Jurgen Klopp regards Brewster as a ‘viable option’ for next season.

Since then not much should have changed to dissuade Klopp from his stance.

Dominic Solanke and Danny Ings have struggled to make an impact with their chances and show they are credible options for Liverpool moving forward.

Brewster has been rehabbing his knee injury and should still be confident he can win a place in the first team.

Celtic’s move has put Liverpool on the spot and the Reds may be reluctant to sanction a deal without taking a closer look at their situation in pre-season.
