Rhian Joel Brewster (born 1 April 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Liverpool and the England U18 national team. In 2017, he was part of the England squad which won the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup and was awarded the Golden Boot award for ending as the competition's leading goalscorer.
Born and raised in the London area, Brewster attended school at Chadwell Heath Primary School before joining the Chadwell Heath and Shield Football academies. At the age of seven, he was scouted by representatives from Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham and Charlton. He ultimately 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 Premier League rivals Liverpool.
In 2015, Liverpool signed Brewster from Chelsea following a recommendation by Beale who had taken up a position with the club. Brewster's decision to make the move was motivated in part by his father's influence who believed that he had a better chance of breaking through to the first team through Liverpool's academy than Chelsea's. He initially joined the club's U18 side before being promoted to the U23 squad, where he scored on his debut against Ipswich Town. During his time with the club's academy, Brewster was placed on a special training regime which included one-on-one sessions with former Liverpool and Real Madrid winger, Steve McManaman.
