Liverpool and England U19 player Rhian Brewster has revealed he is a Hammer.
The 19-year-old was born at Chadwell Heath posted a photo of himself as a young boy wearing a West Ham coat next to Steven Gerrard.
At the age of seven, he was scouted by representatives from Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham and Charlton Athletic.
He joined Chelsea where he developed his game under coach Michael Beale in the club’s academy until the age of 14, whereafter he left to join Liverpool.
Last year Brewster signed a five-year professional contract with Liverpool. He was named in the match squad for the second leg of Liverpool’s 2018–19 Champions League semi-final against Barcelona in May 2019, but remained an unused substitute. Despite never having played in a competitive game for the club, Brewster was on the bench again in the 2019 UEFA Champions League Final against Spurs in June 2019 so collected a winner’s medal as Liverpool won 2–0.
What a misleading headline…
