Brentford have secured the loan services of Liverpool attacker Sergi Canos until the end of the season.

The 18-year-old arrived at Griffin Park in the summer on a deal that was due to expire early next month.

However, having made 16 appearances for the Championship outfit since then, all parties have agreed for the deal to be extended until May.

"I have been really pleased with Sergi and he has been progressing really well. Even though he is only 18 years old, he has quite an old head on young shoulders," recently-appointed boss Dean Smith told the club's official website.

"He has impressed me so far. He wants to learn and he wants to get better. He is enjoying himself here and he gives us something that we haven't really got here in terms of his direct running and enthusiasm. It is encouraging to have a player like Sergi here for the rest of the season."

The Spanish youth international signed for Liverpool in 2013, having come through the youth ranks at Barcelona.
