Report: Liam Moore heading back to Brentford

Brentford are reportedly on the verge of re-signing Leicester City defender Liam Moore on a loan deal.

The 22-year-old, who spent a month at Griffin Park back in 2013, was a regular member of the Leicester defence during the early part of the season.

However, he has not featured in the Premier League since December, with Foxes manager Nigel Pearson believed to be prepared to allow the centre-back to leave the King Power Stadium on a temporary basis.

That has alerted Bees boss Mark Warburton, who has beaten off competition from the likes of Watford for Moore's services, according to West London Sport.

Moore has made 14 appearances for Leicester in all competitions this term.
