Liverpool forward Liam Millar has signed for Basel for a modest fee.

The Swiss side have paid only £1.3 million for the 21-year-old, who had been with Liverpool since 2016.

Millar is a full Canadian international, but he only managed a single senior appearance at Liverpool.

He has gone through with his medical in Basel and signed a four year contract with the club.

Liverpool have a 20 percent sell-on fee inserted into the agreement, which ensures they will profit if Basel sell Millar on in the coming years.

Speaking after finalising his move, Millar told Basel's official website: "I'm really looking forward to the challenge here in Basel. FCB is a large and internationally known club and you can feel that immediately when you step into the stadium.

"My strengths on the pitch are my speed, I like to go into offensive one-on-one situations and try to create as many chances as possible for my team."

Basel coach Philipp Kaufmann added: "Liam is a mentality player who is not afraid to work defensively and to help the team without the ball. He brings an unpredictable and varied element to our wing play and will thus optimally complement our offense."
