Liverpool update on Rhian Brewster future as second club considers loan bid
Rhian Brewster has been in impressive form for Swansea since joining on loan in January.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is reportedly undecided on what he plans to do with Rhian Brewster once his loan spell at Swansea ends but Sheffield United are ready to offer the striker Premier League football. Brewster has long been tipped for a bright future at Anfield, ever since Liverpool signed him from Chelsea back in 2015.
The striker has risen through the academy at Kirkby and Klopp has repeatedly sung his praises.
A long-term injury back in 2018 curtailed his development though before he returned to fitness in May 2019.
Klopp originally blocked Brewster from going out on loan last season, insisting he wanted the young forward to be part of his plans for the upcoming season.
Liverpool's charge to their first Premier League title though meant chances for Brewster were few and far between, although he did make his professional debut in the Carabao Cup.

Heading into January though, Klopp wanted to see Brewster play competitive first-team football on a regular basis and eventually gave the green light for the England youth star to go out on loan to Swansea.
And the 20-year-old has been in hot form ever since, scoring 10 goals in 20 games to help Swansea reach the play-offs, while he was also lively in the Swans' 1-0 semi-final first-leg over Brentford at the weekend.
Brewster will be aiming to go one better in firing Swansea to Premier League promotion, but the Irish Sun report a decision is yet to be made on whether Klopp will choose to keep him at the club heading into next season.
Swansea are said to be keen on re-signing Brewster on loan if they gain promotion to the Premier League.

But the report also notes Sheffield United are interested in giving Brewster an opportunity in the English top flight.
Lys Mousset is set to leave United this summer and Chris Wilder sees Brewster as the perfect option to bolster his attacking options.
However, Brewster would have strong competition with both Oli McBurnie and David McGoldrick impressing for the Blades this past season.
Klopp has already proven that he isn't afraid to send his young players out on loan to find regular football, but equally he is willing to give them chances at Anfield.
Harry Wilson has long been knocking on the door for a first-team spot at Anfield having spent the last two seasons on loan at Derby and Bournemouth.
But the likes of Neco Williams and Curtis Jones have proven they can follow Trent Alexander-Arnold in becoming regulars for Klopp's first-team.
Liverpool are expected to be in the market for a striker this summer to provide competition for Roberto Firmino.
Divock Origi is seen as the fourth option in Liverpool's attack, but he has often been used out on the left as opposed to through the middle.
