Brentford keen to sign Betis youngster Diao in January

Brentford are struggling to climb the Premier League table having lost four of their last five games - to Brighton & Hove Albion, Sheffield United, Aston Villa and Wolves. They are in 14th place, just four points above the relegation zone.

As a result, the Bees will be looking to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window to end their poor run of form. The board's priority is to reinforce their attack as they need more firepower in their forward line.

In fact, the English team have already made contact with one of their wish-list targets. Real Betis right winger Assane Diao has received an offer of 30 million euros to swap La Liga for the Premier League in January, according to Spanish outlet 'Relevo'.

The 18-year-old is making a superb impact at his current club after scoring four goals in 18 games and is expected to continue to develop and improve his performances.

His current contract with the Andalusian club expires in 2027 but both Betis and his inner circle are considering Brentford's bid as it could be a good opportunity for his future as well as the funds that both parties would get from the transfer.

His next destination is uncertain but the 18-year-old's future looks bright.
