Liverpool have fired a tapping up warning at clubs interested in Rhian Brewster.

The teenage striker is being linked with RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach.

But the Liverpool Echo says Liverpool have triggered the third year of Brewster's Academy scholarship which means that no club is currently allowed to approach him.

Anyone doing so at this stage will run the risk of being reported for tapping-up the youngster.

But Brewster could still opt to leave in the summer and Anfield officials understand the lure of the Bundesliga for an English player of his age.
