da esoccer bet： Rhian Brewster is being tracked by three clubs who are seeking a loan deal for the striker, according to the Sun.
What’s the latest?
Crystal Palace are the most high-profile team who are rumoured to be interested in the 19-year-old, and although Jordan Ayew has found some consistency for the Eagles, they lack another striker who is able to deliver on the goal front.
Bristol City and Swansea find are also reportedly monitoring the Liverpool forward and could make a move when the transfer window re-opens.

Other clubs in Germany could also register an interest in Brewster if he is available on a short-term deal, but the decision to let him leave on a temporary basis is believed to be down to Klopp, and whether he needs him in the second half of the season.
As yet, it is not thought that any official bid has been launched, though with still several weeks to go until the January window it is possible that talks could open up.
Risky to let him leave
Brewster is very highly-rated at Liverpool, and that has been reflected in the way Jurgen Klopp has used him over the last few months.
He first gave him the experience of being in the matchday squad in big matches against Spurs and Barcelona in the Champions League – and was even considering starting him against the Spaniards – and also gave him his first starts for the club in the League Cup this term.
As a result, the club are taking their time to nurture his development and ease him in bit-by-bit, and leaving on loan could, therefore, hinder his development.
There are positives to leaving the club and experiencing a different environment and intensity in terms of how the senior game is played, but there is always a risk that he won’t get the game time he desires, particularly at a Premier League club like Crystal Palace.
A similar player, Eddie Nketiah, an Arsenal striker who is slightly older than the Reds’ player, has joined Leeds this year. Despite his quality and goals from the bench, he is still yet to overcome Patrick Bamford to earn a starting place in the side – with zero starts in the league – and therefore it is possible that he is being held back.
The Reds will be keen to ensure the same doesn’t happen to Brewster, but the only way to guarantee that is by keeping him at the club and monitoring his progress, and that means a loan deal should be avoided.
