Liverpool clinch deal to sell defender as Dara O’Shea valued at £15m

Liverpool have agreed a deal to sell Sepp van den Berg to Brentford, which will likely end their interest in Dara O’Shea. The Anfield side have sold the Dutch central defender to Thomas Frank’s outfit as they look to strengthen their backline.

Celtic had been credited with an interest in the Irish Internationalist as Brendan Rodgers hunts for a left sided central defender to partner Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Brentford had been in talks with Burnley over a deal for the ex-West Brom defender but there was no breakthrough. Now, Wolves are interested in signing O’Shea.

BBC reporter Nick Mashiter has confirmed that Burnley want £15m for the Irishman. Wolves want the player but the journalist confirms that the discussions will go into the final week of the window.

Celtic are in talks with Burnley over the sale of Mikey Johnston. The Championship side want to sign the winger, who is likely to depart this window having spent the second half of last season at West Brom, is also the subject of interest from Sheffield United.

Johnston could be used as a makeweight for Burnley to allow O’Shea to make the move to the Scottish Champions.
