Liam Moore heading for Brentford

Leicester City defender Liam Moore is reportedly close to joining League One outfit Brentford on loan.

The 20-year-old has made 14 senior appearances for the Foxes this season, but is expected to depart in order to gain regular first-team experience, according to Sky Sports News.

Manchester United were linked with the former England Under-21 international in the summer, but the right-back remained at Leicester, where he has been tipped for a bright future.

It is understood that the loan move will run until the end of the season.
