Where does Brewster play:
The young England international is a versatile talent, he is naturally a center forward but he can effectively play on the left wing as well.

Brewster featured in 11 Premier League games for Liverpool’s U-23 side in the last campaign and directly contributed in 12 goals (5 goals and 7 assists). He also played 4 games in the UEFA Youth League and scored 1 goal.
Goal-scoring record for England:
The teenager’s goal-scoring record for his country is phenomenal. He made 23 appearances for the U-17 side and scored 20 goals.
For the U16s, he scored 4 goals in 4 appearances and so far, he has made only one appearance for the U-18 national side.
Brewster helped England win the U-17 World Cup last year. He netted hat-tricks against USA and Brazil in the quarter finals and the semi finals respectively and won the Golden Boot (8 goals).
