Why Carvalho chose Brentford over Liverpool

The intruder departed for the Bees a week ago.

He told : “I did (think I’d have a role to play this season at Liverpool), I thought I did alright to be fair but, as a footballer, you get that feeling where you know certain players aren’t back and when they come back things change.

“Then I’m not just going to stay at Liverpool, as much as I love the club and I’ve got nothing but love for the fans, I’m not going to just sit on the bench, because what’s the point?”

Carvalho left Liverpool for a fee of £27.5m.
