Wanted him before he went to Napoli.
There’s a lot of young and highly promising wonder kids coming out of that region.
Abdukodir Khusanov, Kristjan Asllani and Kristjan Asllani all worth keeping an eye on.
I opened this fully expecting it to be about Ivan Toney.
No way he should be captaining Brentford given his previous behaviour and recent comments about wanting to leave.
I searched and there’s no specific thread on him, and we weren’t linked previously.
Someone did suggest him as a Caicedo replacement in one of them though.
USG are another being linked and who have been scouting him regularly. Wouldn’t be a bad move if he played in Belgium for a couple of seasons before joining us…
If Estupinian goes, then we will need an elder South American to keep them in order and help them adapt.
Guido Rodriguez could be an option and would add depth for the dm position.
Danny Hoyle who we took from Norwich last season will likely be our main South American specialist (assuming he’s not that already) given his previous signings at his prior club.
Could be a very shrewd signing. Left footed and was one of the stand out players from the 2023 under 17 Euros last year.

Please make it happen Tony and Sam Jewell,
He has a release clause in his contract set at 5m euros.
Luton were talking to him / them in the summer, but deal didn’t happen then. Their main focus was strengthening for the present season.
Our South American scouts have been aware of him for a while.
We were in a very different position as a club then.
Tony will want someone in who has a track record that matches our playing principles and club philosophy.
Francesco Farioli and Matthias Jaissle will be on our short list.
Doing really well at Atalanta, and according to press reports is likely to be moving again this window
Juventus has been linked, and several unnamed premier league clubs are taking interest. Could we be one? There’s historic interest, plus he’s comfortable playing numerous attacking positions…
