Brentford nearing deal for Liverpool, Tottenham target Kayode

Posted : 21 January 2025

Brentford Football Club is reportedly making significant progress in securing the services of Italian-born Nigerian defender Michael Kayode, who currently plays for Fiorentina in Serie A. The 20-year-old right-back has attracted considerable interest from several top clubs across Europe, but it seems Brentford is leading the race to sign him.


Famed Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that negotiations between Brentford and Fiorentina are nearing completion, with the deal set to be finalized soon. The transfer fee for Kayode is expected to be in the region of €17 million, a potentially astute investment for Brentford if the young defender can reach his full potential.


Kayode has been on the radar of some of Europe's biggest clubs, including Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, but he is reportedly eager to join Brentford. The young Nigerian is looking for more playing time, something he feels is less likely at Fiorentina this season, where he has fallen behind Brazilian fullback Dodo in the pecking order.


Despite being an essential part of Fiorentina’s squad last season, Kayode has struggled to secure regular first-team football this term, which has led him to seek a move to a club where he can play more consistently. 


Brentford has long admired Kayode’s abilities, and it appears they are now well-placed to bring him to the Premier League. If the transfer goes through, it would be a significant coup for the club, strengthening their defensive options.


Known for his pace, technical skill, and ability to contribute offensively, Kayode would be an excellent fit for Brentford's style of play. His signing could add valuable depth to the team’s defensive and attacking capabilities.


Though a deal has not been officially confirmed yet, talks between Brentford and Fiorentina are progressing smoothly, and it is expected that the transfer could be completed before the January transfer window closes. This would allow Kayode the chance to join the Premier League and further develop his career.
