Brentford were linked with a move for Michael Kayode in the summer transfer window and the links have not died down since.

The Bees transfer is getting closer and decisive progress has been made in their approach for Kayode.

Gianluca Di Marzio has reported that the Italian is ‘close to joining’ Brentford from Fiorentina and the move is now in the final details.

The journalist has claimed that the defender will soon move to the London club and the biggest sign yet about an exit has also arrived. Kayode was not in Fiorentina’s squad for the game against Torino and the belief is that this signifies the 20-year-old will depart this month.

It is a sign that talks are now at a very advanced stage and the defender will soon fly to England for a ‘new adventure’.

The versatile defender has played only 12 times in all competitions and has fallen short of game time, having played over 2000 minutes in the Serie A during the 2023/24 campaign.
