Egan, 25, made 67 Championship appearances for the Bees after being signed from Gillingham two years ago.

His impressive performances attracted interest from a number of clubs prior to Sheffield United tabling a formal bid.

Brentford cashed in on Egan after signing centre-back Ezri Konsa from Charlton and rejecting bids from Bournemouth for Chris Mepham.
