His second appearance came in the same competition, as Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s side beat Arsenal on penalties in the fourth round.<\/p>\n<p>The 19-year-old is yet to make his Premier League or European debut for Liverpool, despite being named on the bench six times.<\/p>\n<h3>Aiding Promotion Push<\/h3>\n<p>The Liverpool youngster is joining at an important time for Swansea.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Cooper&#8217;s side currently occupies the last play-off place in the Championship; however, they are just one point ahead of Millwall in seventh.<\/p>\n<p>After an impressive start to the season, the Swans fell from the top of the table. They went six games unbeaten in the league, a feat that nobody expected under a rookie manager in Steve Cooper.<\/p>\n<p>However, they then won just three of their next 15 games, meaning a slide down the table.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that slide, Swansea City still remain playoff contenders, and the addition of Rhian Brewster will be welcomed at the Liberty Stadium.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/5dbefa9d\/Andre-Ayew\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andre Ayew<\/a> is currently the top scorer this season for Swansea with 11 goals.

As a result, Steve Cooper will be hoping that Brewster can hit the ground running for the Swans.<\/p>\n<p>Brewster joins with three pivotal games in the pipeline for Swansea.
