Liverpool transfer news: Caoimhin Kelleher signs for Brentford

Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has completed a move to Brentford for a fee of £12.5m, rising to £18m with add-ons.

The 26-year-old academy product made 25 league appearances and played in more than 40 cup games, winning two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup, two Carabao Cups and the Super Cup.

Kelleher also goes down in the club’s history books as the only goalkeeper to have won four penalty shootouts as a Liverpool player.

The Reds have sold the Republic of Ireland international with Valencia keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili joining them in July to compete for the number one shirt with established first choice Alisson.

“I don’t think it was very difficult for me to leave [Liverpool],” said Kelleher. “I felt for my own career that the time was right for me to go, to be a number one and to play every week.

“I heard of some interest a number of weeks ago. Once I knew Brentford was in for me, it was definitely one I was really excited about and wanted to do as quickly as possible.”
