Sheffield United sign Liverpool striker for £23.5m - Transfer
Brewster recorded 10 goals in a six-month loan spell at Swansea in the second part of last season

Rhian Brewster has completed his move to Sheffield United from Liverpool 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 had a medical in Yorkshire on Friday and finalised terms ahead of signing for Chris Wilder's side.

He will not be available for this Sunday's game at Arsenal, live on Sky Sports.

Up to six Premier League clubs had expressed an interest in the forward - including Aston Villa, Brighton, Newcastle and Crystal Palace.

Liverpool 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 10 goals in a six-month loan spell at Swansea in the second part of last season.

He returned in the summer to make a substitute appearance in Liverpool's Community Shield defeat to Arsenal and missed the crucial penalty in the shootout.
