Sheffield United are set to win the race for starlet Rhian Brewster after agreeing to Liverpool's £40m buy-back clause, claims The Sun.
Brewster is pushing to leave Liverpool before the transfer window closes in search of regular playing time, with a queue of Premier League clubs jostling for his signature.
Jurgen Klopp started the summer with no intention of offloading the England Under-21 international but the situation has changed following their unexpected spending spree.
With Liverpool keen to recoup money from the signings of Kostas Tsimikas, Thiago and Diogo Jota, Brewster will be sacrficied.
The defending Premier League champions were hoping to raise money through sales of Marko Grujic, Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri but there have been no takers for any.
👏 Across his 22 appearances in the Championship and play-offs with Swansea last season, Rhian Brewster never went more than two without scoring
