Brentford sign defender Sepp van den Berg from Liverpool in a deal worth up to £25m.
The 22-year-old Dutchman joins the Bees on a five-year contract after turning down interest from a number of other clubs, including German champions Bayer Leverkusen.
Brentford will pay an initial £20m fee, with an additional £5m in add-ons, while Liverpool have a 17.5% sell-on clause."Sepp is a centre-back with a good level and he has the potential to develop even further," he added. "He fits our culture and the way we want to play - he is quick, he reads the game well and is composed on the ball in the build-up and in the decisive defending actions.
"Sepp is a great character, and I am convinced that he will fit in well with the group and help us to push forward."He joined Liverpool from Dutch side PEC Zwolle in 2019 but made only four senior appearances for the Reds, having also spent 18 months on loan at Preston North End.Go behind the screen with Inside Cinema'It's a horrible ball' - Wood dismisses Mendis with 93mph delivery.
