Rhian Brewster can break into the Liverpool first team this season if he listens to and learns from Jurgen Klopp.

That's the opinion of former Reds striker Neil Mellor, who reckons the youngster is the cream of the crop from the Liverpool academy.

Liverpool boast the likes of Ryan Kent, Ben Woodburn and Harry Wilson, but Mellor believes Brewster to be the most talented young striker of the bunch.

And now that Daniel Sturridge has left Liverpool on a free, there may just be a chance for the England youth star to break into the first team.

"Liverpool have had a few lads that have gone out on loan, Harry Wilson has done very well for Derby in the Championship and Ryan Kent has done very well for Rangers in the Scottish Premier League," Mellor told AmericanGambler.com.

"Ben Woodburn is a Wales international and still very young and there is a lot of excitement around him.

"But the obvious one would be Rhian Brewster, who had an untimely injury for a year but was a Golden Boot winner in the Under-17s World Cup team.

"The likes of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jadon Sancho have developed from that team.

"Brewster has a big future if he can listen to Jurgen and the coaches at Liverpool, and the senior players there. The inspiration comes from the latest players coming through the academy.

"Brewster is the one who really excites me because he can score goals, has the right attitude and listens to the coaching staff and Jurgen."
