Oxford United duo Shandon Baptiste and Tariqe Fosu have agreed personal terms as both players depart to join Championship side Brentford.
The pair completed their medicals this afternoon and the transfers have been confirmed for a reported combined fee of £3 million.
U’s boss Karl Robinson told the club’s official website: “As a football club we are immensely proud to see two young men grow not just into very talented footballers but also into good people – very gracious and very humble as well as hard-working.
“I have known Tariqe a long time now, while Shandon has been here longer and was actually out on loan in non-league when I arrived.
“Both of them have unbelievable ability and have hopefully enjoyed their football just as much as we have enjoyed working with them.
“They leave on good terms and I think it says a lot about this football club that they both want to come along to watch us tomorrow against Blackpool.
“Everything has been done the right way and we look forward to seeing their careers continue to develop.”
It’s a blow for Oxford who look to remain on course for promotion to the Championship, but the squad still has some key players that can come in.
