Rangers are interested in signing Liverpool forward Rhian Brewster on loan ahead of next season, according to reports in the Scottish media.
The 20-year-old is currently on loan at Swansea and the Championship club would like to keep him for a second campaign, but the attraction of playing in Europe could swing things in the Light Blues’ favour.
Fans on Twitter had a mixed reaction to Rangers’ interest in Brewster, considering the loanees that have been brought in from Liverpool have not always worked out:
Rangers is no place for young loan players, we’ve seen this movie before

He’s slightly different than the other loans. This kid is a level above those. Time will tell

Mixed bag young liverpool kids, if on the levels of Kent . . . Yes pls. Anything else, I’d rather promote our kids to be honest.

Don’t think he could handle the pressure

Need winners ready to go. Always up for helping young players but loans need to be players ready to go with the right winning mentality

It’s getting boring now mate. We need tried and tested players who will strengthen the first team, not guys we have to play due to a clause in a contract

Boy is class.. Defoe proves you don’t have to be big to play up top. Goal machime

Fed up with loan deals, takes them a while to find their feet then they’re away back to their own clubs. A good mix of experience and young lads from our own academy is the way forward in my opinion.

Ovie Ejaria and Sheyi Ojo were certainly disappointing loan signings, but Brewster is being tipped to hit greater heights than those two players.
The England Under 21 international won the golden boot at the Under 17 World Cup a few years back while his senior career has also gotten off to a good start, with four goals in his first eleven appearances for Swansea in the English Championship.
