Brewster's Opportunity

Jurgen Klopp has told Rhian Brewster there will be opportunities for him at Anfield this season, the young striker claims.

Brewster suffered a nasty injury during the last campaign but has impressed the German enough to force his way into the first-team thinking this summer.

“I know I’m not going to be the number one striker, I’m not stupid,” the England U17 World Cup hero told Joe.

“We’ve got Bobby who is world class and is so intelligent in the way he leads the attack.

“I am constantly learning from him, looking at why he’s one of the first names on the team-sheet.

“I can play anywhere in the front three and we’ve got Mo and Sadio in the other two spots, which is pure fire. All three are at the very top of the game, among the best players in the world.

“I’m still young and I know I’m not going be in the starting 11 week in, week out, it’s unreasonable. I just want the minutes to show I can be a really good option for the manager and to help my growth as a Liverpool player.

“If there’s an injury, a suspension, fatigue or any other issue, I want the club to feel like they can trust me to step in and I want to provide whatever support I can to the team.

“The boss has told me many times that he believes in me, that he rates my game and my attitude.

“He has said there will be opportunities. I did assess other options, but right now, I think I’m good enough to push for a place around the first team.

“All I need is to get fully fit again and be given the chance to prove him right, prove myself right, contribute in the best way I can and make everyone proud.”
