Swansea City have signed Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster on loan for the rest of the season.
Brewster, 19, came on as a substitute in Liverpool's FA Cup third-round win over Everton on Sunday.
Swansea wanted a forward to replace Sam Surridge, who was recalled from a loan spell at the Liberty Stadium by Bournemouth last week.
Swans boss Steve Cooper is an admirer of Brewster and worked with him during his time as England Under-17 coach.
Brewster finished as top scorer as Cooper's team won the 2017 Under-17 World Cup.
The England Under-21 international is likely to make his Swans debut in Sunday's south Wales derby at Cardiff City.
Brewster made his first Liverpool appearances in the Carabao Cup earlier this season, and played the final 11 minutes of their 1-0 FA Cup win over rivals Everton.
