Brentford have signed 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.
Bees boss Thomas Frank said the defender was a “great signing” for the club.
Van den Berg made 33 Bundesliga appearances on loan at German club Mainz last season.
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.
