Brentford to sign Michael Kayode permanently from Fiorentina | OneFootball

As per TMW and Fabrizio Romano, Brentford have activated the €17.5m clause to bring Michael Kayode permanently to the club from Fiorentina. The Bees had brought Kayode to England in January and although he took some time to get settled in, he has now hit form. This was particularly noticeable during their recent game against Manchester United where the defender won Man of the Match. With right-backs being in heavy demand with the the summer transfer window being open, it is a coup of Brentford’s behalf to have secured him for this cheap. The 20 year old Italian is solid both in defense and attack and it is genuinely surprising that Fiorentina failed to get a bigger fee for the player. Brentford’s success in the Premier League has been built upon their astute transfer business and Kayode is just the latest proof of that. It won’t be surprising if they sell him to a bigger club for a sizeable profit within a year or two. Kayode’s agent Andrea Ritorni also stated that the player is very happy to play in the Premier League and is beginning to get along well with manager Thomas Frank and other teammates.
