Brentford had a good season last time out, beating some of the best clubs in the league and finishing in the top half of the table. A lot of this can be accredited to the manager Thomas Frank. However, Frank is the type of manager who is never satisfied. Therefore, he’ll want to improve his squad before the transfer window comes to an end.
Brentford’s first game of the season is at home to Tottenham Hotspur. Therefore, securing some top quality signings before this difficult opening fixture is of utmost importance. This is why it’s good from the fans’ perspective that the club is central to a big transfer story recently.
Brentford interested in signing free agent Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
According to The Mirror, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is attracting interest from Brentford. However, they will face competition from Saudi Arabia and Besiktas. The former Arsenal and Liverpool man is a free agent, so it is just wages to discuss.
From the player’s perspective, it remains to be seen whether he values staying in England. Given that he is a family man who has known nothing but England since he began his footballing career, taking the step to move abroad at 29 years old may not be at the top of his wishlist.

The Ox is a great option and would be a great signing no matter where he ends up. He thrives with the ball at his feet, is a great dribbler and has the ability to contribute to goals. He is versatile too, since he can also play as a winger or full-back. This will certainly help Brentford in their quest for European qualification.
