'He could be the player who turns the season'

Former Sheffield United striker Carl Asaba on Rhian Brewster: "For someone who's had a career of injuries, I know mentally how tough it is and how easy it is to not deal with it and fade away.
"Rhian is a bubbly character and infectious around the training ground. He's our biggest fan in the stand. Lots of injured players you see depressed but he supports, gets involved and cheers them on. He's putting himself second and I think the world of him.
"His ability is just there, everyone knows. The level he's got to, he's played at Liverpool and England Under-21s. All that's hampered this boy is his injuries.
"I think he's one of the most unselfish strikers I've seen. Two seasons ago when he was asked to play right midfield he was getting pelters for not scoring. He was doing the graveyard shift where you have to try to help the attackers and get back. He was working just as hard, if not harder, to help his team-mates going back to goal. He gives everything.
"He could be the player who turns the season, he's got the confidence and the ability and he knows he can do it. He's going to come good.
"He's a player that can excite and ignite the season. Rhian can do it with a bit of flair and blistering pace. This is the thing that could change our season and I hope it does because he deserves it. Who knows what this boy's limits are."
