Jurgen Klopp to Place Faith in Rhian Brewster After More Than a Year of Injury Hell

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been tipped to promote home grown teenager Rhian Brewster to a more prominent first team role next season, rather than ask the club to spend money in the transfer market to replacing departing forward Daniel Sturridge.

With his contract up at the end of the month, Liverpool have already confirmed that Sturridge is moving on after six years at Anfield and it will leave a void in the senior squad that needs filling if the Reds are to compete for trophies again next season.

Rumour has it that Divock Origi will be handed a new contract after resurrecting his Liverpool career with a number of crucial goals last season, including two against Barcelona at Anfield.
