One of Liverpool's most promising Academy talents has revealed his dream to break into Jurgen Klopp's first team squad.
In an interview today with LFC.tv commentator Steve Hunter, 16-year old Rhian striker Rhian Brewster revealed that he rejected Chelsea to sign for Liverpool, and made it clear he has eye on a first team place:
"All I want to do is play for Liverpool’s first team. I will do all I can to try and make that happen, so if that means doing extra work in training, not going out with friends, eating well and working hard every day, I will do it.”
Some info about Brewster:
* 16-year old striker for Liverpool's U18s and U23 teams. 7 goals in 6 games for England U17s.
* Described as a 'talented striker with an eye for goal' on Liverpool's official website.
* Nov 2016: Scored a hat-trick for LFC's first-team in a friendly during the November international break.
* Mar 2017: On working with Steve McManaman: "It’s great to learn from [McManaman]. I wanted to work on different types of finishing and he was a big help for me. Steve was giving the full-backs and wingers great advice".
* Mar 2017: On Roberto Firmino: "I try and mimic the way he [Firmino] plays and be myself too. Firmino is a team player and he scores goals.”
* Mar 2017: On his football idol: "Luis Suarez is amazing and I look up to him. His playing style is a bit like mine, quick feet, and can score goals.”
Brewster clearly has self-confidence if he's comparing himself to Luis Suarez (!) That's a good thing, though, and hopefully he'll prove his worth if/when he's given a chance in the first-team.
Ability alone is not enough, though. Suarez offers more than just prodigious ability - he has incredibly high standards; a relentless, indefatigable will to win, and an intolerate for underperformance from his team-mates. That is the type of personality Liverpool need in the squad.
