Noel Whelan believes that Leeds United could be the perfect place for Rhian Brewster to develop due to Marcelo Bielsa's style of play.
The Championship club are reported to have opened talks with Liverpool regarding a potential loan deal for the 19-year-old striker.
Leeds are tracking attacking reinforcements as they prepare for the possibility of Eddie Nketiah being recalled by the Arsenal.
The Gunners are thought to be unhappy regarding the lack of first team action picked up by the striker, meaning that they could look to recall him and send him out on loan to another Championship club.
If that happens, a move for Brewster could be the next step and according to Noel Whelan, Marcelo Bielsa's side would be the ideal place for the starlet to take the next step in his career.
Speaking to Football Insider, Whelan said: “There is obviously interest from Leeds in Brewster and I’m sure there are a queue of clubs wanting to take him.
"But Leeds have a good chance, definitely.
“A huge thing in Leeds’ favour is that Marcelo Bielsa is a great coach and Leeds play in a similar way to Liverpool – build out from the back, press from the front, high energy, smooth passing combinations and an aggressive playing style.

“That’s how Leeds signed Jack Harrison from Man City. Jurgen Klopp will be aware of that, and how Harrison has developed under Bielsa.
“Klopp will be keen for Brewster to join Leeds and learn under Bielsa. It’s probably in Klopp’s mind to send him to a team that play a similar style of football to Liverpool, and that’s where Leeds will fit the bill.
“The issue is how much game time he would have, as Patrick Bamford is the number one centre-forward at Leeds.”
The verdict
A move for Rhian Brewster could be ideal for Leeds United.
The striker is highly rated at Liverpool and from their point of view a switch to a club like Leeds could be ideal preparation for life at a club with big expectations.
Brewster would offer huge amounts to Marcelo Bielsa's side, making him an ideal fit.
