Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to respond to the latest news surrounding on-loan Reds striker Rhian Brewster.
This comes after Liverpool fan Twitter account @AnfieldEdition shared a post on their page relaying news originally posted in a report by The Mirror.
The report claims that Jurgen Klopp is ready to sell winger Xherdan Shaqiri this summer for £25 million as he does not want the Swiss international blocking Brewster’s chances in the senior squad.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were eager to share their thoughts on this latest development.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans responding to the post:

More likely he’ll give Wilson a shot

Hoping this is false though
Sturridge, lallana, Ox were injured for longer periods and he didnt just sell them off like that…brewster or no brewster…shaq is a quality asset to the team and should be given a chance— El-magnifico? (@jayson_1010) April 14, 2020
Harsh on Shaqiri. I know injuries are an issue but he’s been quality when he has played.

Would you want Rhian Brewster in the Liverpool squad next season?
Yes
No
Brewster is currently on a season-long loan deal at Championship club Swansea City. So far this season, Brewster has managed to score four goals in 11 appearances for the Welsh side (per Transfermarkt). Now that this news has emerged that Klopp is looking to get rid of Shaqiri to make room for Brewster in his squad next season, this news has not gone down well with these Reds fans.
Too harsh for shaqiri. He’s one of the most creative player we are having right now. The one needs to be sold long time ago is lallallala

Brewster isn’t ready at all, no pace, no power

One fan even suggested that the fact that Rhian Brewster may be in Klopp’s plans suggests that the Reds won’t sign Timo Werner, who Klopp is reportedly interested in.
So no werner?

What do we think?
It appears that these Liverpool fans would rather keep hold of Shaqiri than sell him and give Brewster a chance next season.
