Liverpool will be trying to ward off interest from Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur this transfer window for young star Rhian Brewster.

News broke a few days ago that Rhian Brewster would sign a new deal at Liverpool after flirting with the idea of joining the Bundesliga. However until that ink is on the deal the rumors will continue and Liverpool fans will be a little nervous.

The latest is that both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to steal in and get him to sign in North London. That would be a dramatic turn of events and crushing blow to Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp who rates the youngster highly.

Brewster missed the second half of the season with a high ankle sprain but he was rising to prominence within the Liverpool. He progressed from the Under 18 side to the Under 23 reserve side after winning the Golden Boot at the Under 17 World Cup last season.

Klopp was speaking about him in glowing terms, implying that Brewster is the best young forward at the club; rated above Harry Wilson, Ben Woodburn and Dominic Solanke.

Testament to the player’s growth and potential is the interest from ‘Big 6’ clubs. The question is will he develop better or get more opportunities at other clubs. Arsenal look out of the picture for a host reasons.

The Gunners are on downward slope after finishing sixth again. They have a new, tough-minded manager and have two center forwards in Aubameyang and Lacazette ahead of him. Spurs are much more of a threat.

Mauricio Pochettino is a good developer of talent and only Harry Kane would stand in Brewster’s way. However you can say the same about Liverpool with Klopp and Firmino.

My bet is that he signs the new deal at Anfield sooner rather than later and plays a part in Klopp’s first team plans for the 2018/19 season.
