Within the last year, Brentford have signed three players directly from Liverpool: defender Sepp van den Berg (an initial £20 million), midfielder Fabio Carvalho (an initial £22.5 million) and goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher (an initial £12.5 million).

Jordan Henderson is set to join Brentford as a free agent after the midfielder’s exit from Ajax. The 35-year-old England international left the Dutch club when his contract was terminated by mutual agreement — and he will return to the Premier League on a two-year deal until 2027.
