Liverpool are reportedly extremely close to selling Dutch defender Sepp van den Berg to Brentford for 25million, according to the BBC's Nizaar Kinsella. The Reds have also had interest from Bayer Leverkusen in Van den Berg, and it seems Brentford are still fearful of a possible hijack late on.
Things are very close now for Van den Berg to join Brentford for 25m, according to Kinsella, but he adds that the Bees fear a repeat of the Archie Gray transfer deal, when Tottenham hijacked their move for him earlier this summer.
Van den Berg has long looked like a promising young player, though he's struggled to break into this star-studded LFC side, so it perhaps makes sense that he's now moving on.
25m is a very good fee for Liverpool for a player they've barely used, so fans of the Merseyside giants will surely be happy with this smart piece of business.
