Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster is on the verge of completing a permanent move to Sheffield United in a deal worth up to £23.5m.

Liverpool will retain a 15 per cent sell-on clause for the 20-year-old and a buy-back clause that is valid for the next three years.

Brewster will undergo a medical in Yorkshire on Friday and will then finalise terms ahead of signing for Chris Wilder’s side, although it is unclear whether he will be available for this weekend’s game at Arsenal.

“We have been in negotiations with Liverpool for a while, he has been on our radar and discussions between the player and the club are still ongoing,” Wilder said in a press conference on Friday.

Liverpool are prepared to let their academy product leave in order to get more first-team football – while also needing funds to cover the purchases of Thiago for £25m and Diogo Jota for £45m.

Sheffield United are yet to score in the Premier League after their opening three games of the season, while Brewster recorded ten goals in a six-month loan spell at Swansea in the second part of last season.
