According to the Liverpool Echo, Brentford has joined Leeds United and Celtic in the race to sign Liverpool talent Ovie Ejaria in a deal worth around £3.5million.
The Bees have been busy this summer, landing David Raya, Pontus Jansson, Ethan Pinnock, Mathias Jensen and Christian Norgaard to bolster Thomas Frank’s side.
Now, it’s believed that they’re launching a big move for Ejaria, who spent last season on loan at Rangers and Reading before returning to Anfield.
The 21-year-old is from London and may fancy a return to the capital, but any move to Griffin Park would surely mean Romaine Sawyers is on his way.
As a creative yet languid playmaker, Ejaria fits the bill perfectly as a replacement for Sawyers, whilst coming in at six years his junior; a very Brentford move.
Brentford surely wouldn’t go for a similar player unless they thought Sawyers was going, and now is the time for Leeds and Celtic to ramp up their interest.
