Brentford have made a major coup in the transfer market, securing Mamadou Sangare from French club Lens. The 22-year-old midfielder has completed his medical at the club and is set to sign a five-year contract with an option extending until 2032. According to Sky Sports News, the final transfer fee for Sangare is understood to be £39 million.
Sangare's arrival is not seen as a direct replacement for Jordan Henderson, who remains a key player at Brentford. However, the Bees are expected to sign him regardless of what happens with Henderson’s future. The young midfielder attracted interest from several clubs, including Crystal Palace, but Brentford emerged victorious in the race for his signature.
Brentford's acquisition of Sangare is anticipated to be a significant boost ahead of the new season. His addition to the squad will likely provide depth and quality in midfield, making him one of their major signings this summer.
