Liverpool “extremely close” to £25m transfer deal with PL club but fears of potential hijack

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.
