Brentford beat Everton, Fulham and others to Michael Kayode loan deal with £13.5m option to buy
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey understands Brentford have finalised an agreement with Fiorentina to sign Michael Kayode.
Kayode, the winner of Italy’s Golden Boy award last year presented to the country’s best꧙ young🐲 player, has agreed to move to West London.
He will move on-loan with Brentford holding an optio🅰n worth £13.5million to ☂make the move permanent.
TBR Football can also reveal that Brentford held off interest from a ♚number of Premier League rivals.
These include Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham, Crystal Pal🐻ace and Everton.
What Brentford can expect from Kayode
Brentford have been short of full-backs in recent weeks due to injꦉury, althougℱh the situation is now improving.
Rico Henry is now bac��k after an absence of almost 500 days, while Kristoffer Ajer is said to be back in training after six ga♏mes out with an ankle injury.
Kayode, who has a🅺lso been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham, is an exciting talent who, at just 20 y👍ears of age, has his whole career ahead of him.
Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig has likenedꦺ Kayode to Denzel Dumfries and deemed 💮him a “complete full-back”.
Meanwhile, scouting outlet Breaking the Lines compared Kayode to Kyle Walker last year.
“Most of the time, Kayode’s positioning is intelligent, but when he jumps out too quickly, he can g♑et caught in behind,” they wrote.
“Luckily, his top recovery pace and athleticism give him an ꦜextra tool up his sleeve to stop counters, similar to City right-back Kyle Walker.”
