An exit from the Reds has often led to a downturn in form and reputation.

One player who that has applied to more than most has been former Liverpool academy wonderkid Rhian Brewster.

Brewster had big expectations at Liverpool and there was some disappointment when he was sold to Sheffield United in 2020.

Brewster’s sale to United in 2020 is often earmarked as one of the best bits of business Michael Edwards ever did for Liverpool.

Looking back now, it’s simply unexplainable how Edwards managed to convince the then Premier League side to pay £23.5m for a player who had just four Reds appearances to his name.

At the time, though, the sense was that Sheffield United were signing one of the very best young attackers in England.

To say Brewster has failed to deliver on that would be an understatement.

He did not score throughout two full campaigns in the Premier League and has barely found the net in the Championship either.

Until recently, that trend had continued this season.

However, in Brewster’s last three appearances, he now has one assist and two goals.

The first of those goals came just before the international break, when Brewster tapped in a late winner against local rivals Sheffield Wednesday.

And Rhian was at it again on Friday, sweeping home a brilliant finish as United beat Coventry 3-1.

It should be pointed out that prior to his latest two goals, Brewster had two in 28 Championship appearances this season.
