4) He didn’t own a suit when he received his first Liverpool call-up

Largely due to an injury crisis in the first team, Brewster was named in the squad for Liverpool’s Premier League match at home to Crystal Palace in April 2017 which is incidentally the last time the Reds lost a league match at Anfield.He didn’t play but Klopp recalled the time he told Brewster he was in the squad: “He [Brewster] told me after I said to him that he was in the squad, ‘I have a washbag but I don’t have a suit’. No problem!”Brewster’s integration into Klopp’s first-team has taken place ahead of schedule10

5) He was allegedly the victim of racial abuse during a Liverpool youth match

He’s still a young footballer but Brewster has had to overcome adversity in his career.The striker claims he was racially abused by Leonid Mironov during Liverpool’s UEFA Youth League match against Spartak Moscow in December 2017.Brewster claims Mironov called him a ‘n*****’ but the case was thrown out by UEFA due to insufficient evidence.

6) He’s rated by Steven Gerrard

If you’re well thought of by one of Liverpool’s greatest ever players then you’re doing something right.When he was in charge of the Reds’ Under-18 side, Steven Gerrard spoke highly of Brewster, saying: We all know he has got the talent and the ability.“If Rhian wants to go far and stay at the top, if he can put in that work rate and relentless running, thats how hes going to get the better of most defenders.”Gerrard coached Brewster when he was manager of Liverpool’s Under-18 side last season10

But it’s even better when the man who is in charge of selecting the Liverpool first team rates you.Klopp has promised Brewster ‘will play 100%’ next season when the youngster is at full fitness following a long-term ankle injury.And in the build-up to his potential bow when Liverpool face Barca, Klopp said: “He’s ready. There is a big chance. It’s nearly sure. It’s guaranteed.“Rhian has been in just outstanding shape for the last three or four weeks.”Klopp could throw Brewster in the deep end on Tuesday night10
