Rhian Brewster has made his intentions known that he sees his long term future as a Liverpool player.
While some of their rivals are completing their European commitments from the 2019/20 season, the Reds are looking ahead as they started their pre-season camp in Austria.
With minutes at an absolute premium at the Reds, the club made a wise call to send the talented striker on loan to Swansea for the second half of the season and the youngster made the most of consistent playing time scoring 11 goals in 22 appearances at the Swans under his England youth international coach Steve Cooper.
There had been speculation whether the move would be extended into this season or even made permanent, but speaking at the camp Brewster stated what his main goal is per The Echo.
“Of course I want to be at Liverpool next season, be fighting for a spot to play. Who is not going to want to play at the home of the champions?
“Of course you're not really wanting to go on loan but if that's the best thing for me to do in that situation, so I'm going to get more gametime then that's what I'm going to do.
"But realistically, I want to play at Liverpool, I want to be 'the striker'."
With the inconsistent form of Divock Origi during the past season which has led to rumours linking him with an move away from the club, Brewster knows he has an ideal opportunity to stake his claim.
“I'm just going to go to Evian and work hard and do what I can. And whatever the boss says I need to do, I'm going to accept - whether I stay, whether I go back on loan."
If the loan option does arise again, Cooper says Swansea will be at the head of the queue for his services.
“If a loan is in Liverpool’s plans for Rhian again we want to be right in there for him.
"I know he’s loved already by the supporters and that’s mutual. He’s very well liked around the football club.
"He’s not just a good player – he’s a really good lad.
