Liverpool are set to finally sign a replacement for Alberto Moreno, while Celtic are keen to sign a £5m-rated Slovenia striker, according to Monday’s papers.
BREWSTER DECIDES ON LOAN MOVE AS LIVERPOOL CLOSE ON McCALLUM
Swansea City are favourites to sign Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster, 19, on loan thanks to manager Steve Cooper’s relationship with the forward.
Brewster was part of the England Under-17 team that won the World Cup under Cooper in 2017.
The striker was told by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp that he wanted him as part of his first-team squad this season following Daniel Sturridge’s departure, but the teenager has found game time hard to come by.
As such, Klopp has now cleared Brewster to leave Anfield on loan in January and a number of Championship clubs have all expressed an interest.
As per reports, Derby, Preston, Huddersfield and Bristol City are all keen, while Leeds United could make a move should Eddie Nketiah be recalled by Arsenal.
However, Brewster is believed to have a move to the Liberty Stadium top of his agenda thanks to his relationship with Cooper, who has guided the Swans into play-off contention this season.
Liverpool aren’t expected to be major players in the January window though one deal that will go through is the bargain £7.25m capture of Takumi Minamino, and another deal that has been reported is the likely arrival of Coventry’s English left-back Sam McCallum, as per 90.min.com
The 19-year-old is expected to sign for the Reds in January ahead of a number of Premier League rivals, with Liverpool loaning him back to the Sky Blues for the rest of the season.
Klopp has been in the market to sign a new left-back since last summer following the departure of Alberto Moreno.
