Liverpool are desperate to keep hold of the forward who finished top scorer in last year’s Under-17 World Cup.

The Reds would only receive compensation around £200,000 if he does decide to leave for Germany.

Boss Jurgen Klopp is ready to integrate him in the first team for their pre-season tour of America before keeping him in the squad for the season.

But Brewster is pondering whether his own personal development is better suited in Germany where he feels he could be playing more football.
