da esoccer bet: According to reports in The Guardian, Liverpool fear that highly-rated attacker Rhian Brewster could become the latest young English player to make the move to the Bundesliga.
What’s the word, then?
da apostaganha: Well, The Guardian says that Liverpool are worried that the 5ft 11in tall teenager could be tempted by a move to Germany with Borussia Monchengladbach, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund all said to be keen, with him yet to commit his future to the Merseyside outfit despite being able to since he was offered a lucrative deal on his 18th birthday in April.
The likes of Jadon Sancho, Ademola Lookman and Reece Oxford have all made the jump in recent seasons, and the former two have enjoyed plenty of success with Sancho now a regular in the Dortmund starting XI.
The Guardian adds that Jurgen Klopp considers Brewster as a first-team option for the 2018/19 campaign.
How has Brewster done this season?
The forward, who can play as a striker or on the wing, has scored six goals and provided a further seven assists in 13 appearances for Liverpool’s U18, U19 and U23 sides this term.
The talented teenager also played a key role in England winning the U17 World Cup back in October, scoring eight goals – and one penalty in a shoot-out – throughout the tournament as the young Three Lions beat Spain 5-2 in the final.

How important is it Liverpool keep him?
It is very important.
Brewster is a hugely talented player and one that could go on to be a huge player for the Merseyside outfit in the future.
Klopp believes he is good enough to make an impression next season, and he would certainly be learning a lot by working with the likes of Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino in attack.
Will they keep him?
It’s difficult to say, and much could depend on the assurances he is given.
Brewster may feel that he is ready to play top-level football now, and if he believes he has a better chance to do that on a regular basis in Germany then he may turn down what Liverpool are offering.
While the 18-year-old may want to be a Reds player, if he isn’t going to get regular minutes – which seems unlikely with the calibre of players in the Merseyside outfit’s frontline – then a move to a Bundesliga club could be the best option for him.
