Sepp Van Den Berg Joins Brentford On Permanent Deal From Liverpool
Brentford has completed the signing of defender, Sepp van den Berg from Liverpool.
The center-back was signed by the Reds for £4.4m in 2019 from Eredivisie side PEC Zwolle and made four senior appearances for the club.
In addition, there is a 17.5 per cent sell-on clause.
The Bees beat off competition from German champions Bayer Leverkusen, who were ultimately not ready to follow through on signing the center-back.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Brentford head coach Thomas Frank said: “I’m very pleased that we have managed to sign Sepp. I think this is a great signing for the club and the team.
“Sepp is a center-back with a good level and he has the potential to develop even further.
“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 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.”
