Ayew: Brewster has the talent to go a long way in the game

Rhian Brewster has all the potential to make it at the top level according to his current Teammate Andre Ayew.

The young striker has spent the second half of the season on loan at the Welsh outfit and the move has been beneficial for both parties.

Brewster has scored 10 goals while the Swans have ended up in the playoffs after a dramatic last day in the Championship and loom as a real dark horse. 

Brewster has found his best form after linking up again with Steve Cooper who was his coach for junior England teams and where he put everyone on notice of his talent by being the top scorer at the U/17 World Cup.

His fellow forward Ayew has struck up a fine relationship with the 20 year-old and believes he has plenty of strengths.

The Echo reported the Ghanaian international as saying:

“He is still young, and he has a few things to learn and improve on, but when we are talking about a pure finisher and talent in front of the goal, he has it all.

“He has everything a striker needs to get, and that is very important.

“When you are 19 or 20, and you see the season he has had. If he continues to work hard, he is going to be a top, top player."

“Like every player he’s had ups and downs, but he’s scoring goals and playing well. 

“I’m happy for him. He has big ambitions and I pray for him to be able to get this club up by his goals."

The development in senior ranks for Brewster has been cruelly interrupted by serious knee and ankle injuries and Jurgen Klopp knows that his developed cannot be rushed due to this factor.

However he is thrilled by the progress he is making.

“The plan with Rhian is that we will talk to him (about the next step).

“It (the loan) was unbelievably important and I'm really happy we had the opportunity to do so.

“In his first proper senior year he had an awful injury.

“He needed a long time and that's why we said immediately when he came back it made no sense to be here as third striker. It was a lot different to other situations.

“He was really happy that he could go to his former coach who knew him from the youth national team.

“They really wanted him and it's really important for a young striker, because they cannot score every week but they still should stay on the pitch.

“He played a good season and Rhian showed his talent.

“For the moment it's nearly perfect but how it will be next year we will talk with him and his representatives."

If he continues to impress in the Championship playoffs, don’t be surprised if he returns and provides an striking extra option off the bench, especially with the manager signalling that transfer activity will be minimal in the summer.
