Impressing everyone following their promotion to the Premier League, Brentford FC stayed up relatively comfortably under Thomas Frank.
They’ll want to bolster their squad ahead of next season to ensure they firmly establish themselves as a top-flight squad, which is why the Bees are making offers for players.
They haven’t all been successful, as Corriere dello Sport’s Bologna edition point out on Sunday that Bologna have rejected an offer from Brentford for Aaron Hickey.
Keen to sign the Scottish left-back, Frank’s side have come forward with a fair amount of money to try and convince the Serie A side, but it hasn’t been enough.
The figure on offer is ‘still to low’ and was ‘not considered adequate’.
One of the reasons for that, it seems is they want €20-22m + bonuses minimum for him, and they know that Arsenal are also keen.
This means a potential auction could take place between the two sides, which has the Italians rubbing their hands.
