Brentford set to bid £10million for Liverpool star

Premier League newcomers Brentford are preparing a formal bid for Liverpool’s Harry Wilson, according to reports.

The Bees are yet to make a signing following promotion last season, and are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of a fight for survival.

The Sun report that Brentford will offer around £10million for the Welsh international, who is expected to leave Anfield permanently this summer.

Wilson, 24, has made just two appearances for the Reds in his six years at the club, having spent the majority of his time out on loan.

“I feel my senior career has been elsewhere so far,” Wilson told Sgorio recently. “150-200 appearances deep now and only a couple have been at Liverpool.

“The club will always be close to my heart, but if it means moving away to further my career then so be it.”

Brentford will face competition from several Championship outfits, including West Brom and Swansea, who are also thought to be pursuing Wilson.Brentford are however not the only ones eyeing Wilson as Benfica have reportedly shown interest.
