Caoimhin Kelleher has opened up on why he believes it was the right time for him to swap Liverpool for Brentford last summer.

It’s a very difficult time for them, a difficult season, with circumstances that people probably aren’t taking into account too much. “I find it a bit strange and a bit difficult when I hear people speaking about the players at Liverpool and the performances, because I don’t think this season is even important from a football aspect for them to be honest.
