Leeds to meet with Liverpool as they eye Brewster as possible Nketiah replacement​

Leeds United officials will meet with Liverpool in the coming days to discuss a possible loan move for Rhian Brewster.

That’s according to Football Insider, with an inside Whites source telling them that club chiefs will present their case to the Reds over a temporary switch for the striker.

This is due to the future of Arsenal loanee Eddie Nketiah.

The Gunners ace has struggled for game time at Elland Road and has been tipped to return to north London in the new year.

Arsenal look set to have the option to recall the highly-rated 20-year-old next month due to the player not meeting a clause regarding game time in Yorkshire.

Nketiah is working under one of the most influential coaches in the game in Marcelo Bielsa, however, things haven’t worked out as many would’ve hoped for the forward.

He’s scored five goals but is yet to start a Championship encounter, with Bielsa preferring Patrick Bamford as the leading forward.

The Whites are obviously worried by Nketiah’s potential Arsenal return, which is why they are looking to get ahead of the game regarding a deal for Brewster.
