Transfer gossip: Bees linked with Liverpool forward

Some of the latest transfer speculation involving Brentford…

Brentford are among clubs linked with Ben Woodburn after Liverpool recalled the forward from a season-long loan at Sheffield United.

The 19-year-old had not played for the Yorkshire club since November and is expected to spend the rest of the season on loan elsewhere.

Goal.com say Brentford are one of a number of Championship clubs to have expressed an interest in him.

It is claimed that the Bees, Blackburn and Hull have made enquiries about Woodburn.

There continues to be speculation over the future of Brentford striker Neal Maupay.

Reports have suggested that Aston Villa’s former Bees boss Dean Smith will target the Frenchman if Villa lose on-loan Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.

Middlesbrough have also been linked with Maupay, who has scored 16 goals this season.

And the Daily Express have picked up on reports that Brentford are demanding £20m for him.
