Rhian Brewster has gained an impressive reputation at The Reds for his neat finishing and explosive pace while his record on the International Youth level points to a significant talent for years to come.
Having bagged 20 goals in 22 appearance for the World Cup winning U/17 Three Lions squad, the 18-year-old attracted attention from all of the major clubs but his season has since come to a traumatic end.
Brewster was ruled out for the remainder of the 2018 term after receiving oxygen during a u/23 fixture against Manchester City in January and as a result was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain and ligament damage.
However, the youngster has left a lasting impression on Jürgen Klopp and co. with the player set to become a sporadic performer in the first-team squad next season.
With the German manager keen to 'promote from within' it seems that Brewster could play an integral part in the front line next season.
Rumours of a mega spending spree have circulated since January with reports of Timo Werner, Luan Vieira, and Thomas Lemar all linked with a move to Anfield, but the promotion of a youngster would be a much less costly addition.

While the news of Brewster's expected push will come as a positive for him, it will come as a signal of sorrow for Daniel Sturridge - whose Anfield career may be about to come to an end.
A drastic loan move to West Brom was seen as a last roll of the dice to make the World Cup this summer but another setback looks to have ruled out hope for injury prone striker.
Also, with the current front three having embraced the Klopp way of playing, the chances of the former Manchester City and Chelsea forward disrupting the current status quo look slim to none.
With just three goals to his name this season, he is a shadow of the striker who alongside Luis Suarez bagged 23 goals for The Reds in the 2013/14 season but he has failed to replicate his stunning form since.
Oh Danny Boy

Despite the constant reports, Danny Ings has established himself at Liverpool as fourth choice forward having impressed Klopp with his attitude and character to prove himself on Merseyside.
Summer and January rumours linked the 25-year-old with a move to Rafa Benitez's Newcastle with fears his best times were behind him following an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Ings however has shown heart to continue fighting for a place in the German's side and has featured eight times in the first team this season which considering the form of Salah, Firmino and Mane is a feat in itself.
The striker may have a career at Anfield as long as he wants it but it is unlikely he will ever become a regular starter in the side.
