Brentford’s mighty £141m summer transfer window as major Ivan Toney call made in shock prediction
Who knows what will lie ahead for Thomas Frank and Brentford, as they look to move on from an underwhelming season in the Premier League.
Finishing the bottom five of the table certainly was not on the Bees’ agenda when last season got underway in August 2023. The threat of relegation never really seemed genuine but there is little doubt a much improved campaign will be targeted next time out. Frank will hope to play his part during the summer transfer window as he looks to freshen up his squad by making some major calls.
The futures of key forward duo Ivan Toney and Brian Mbeumo will be at the top of the agenda for the Bees boss as both players continue to attract attention from across the Premier League.
