​Ex-Liverpool striker Mellor: Brewster must listen to Klopp

Former Liverpool striker Neil Mellor believes the best way for Rhian Brewster to break into the first team is by listening to his manager.

Brewster is among the Reds youngsters who is knocking on the door of a first team squad place.

But given the high level of the Reds' first team and competition for places, all players must wait for their chances.

Mellor hopes the likes of Brewster can listen to Klopp, learn from him and make their impact when they get a chance to show their worth.

"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."
