Newcastle Eyes Brentford’s Thiago Ahead of Crucial Clash
LONDON – Newcastle United faces Brentford today, and scouts from the Magpies will have a keen eye on Brentford’s in-form striker, Igor Thiago. The Brazilian forward, who joined Brentford for £30 million in the summer of 2024, has been a revelation, netting seven goals in 11 games. Thiago’s impressive start has filled the void left by Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa.
Chronicle Live reported last month that Newcastle scouts are well aware of Thiago’s situation, even after acquiring Nick Woltemade and Wissa during the summer transfer window. Despite Newcastle manager Eddie Howe not having a striker as a main priority, he will get to asses the player in person today.
However, Brentford manager Keith Andrews has issued a stern warning to potential suitors, declaring Thiago “absolutely nowhere” and a “pivotal part” of the club. Andrews stated, “Thiago is going absolutely nowhere, absolutely nowhere, he’s a pivotal part of this football club, he doesn’t want to go anywhere, that won’t be happening.”
This afternoon’s match offers Thiago a perfect opportunity to showcase his talents to Howe, though the Newcastle boss will be hoping the striker doesn’t shine too brightly as Newcastle seek their first away victory of the Premier League season. For Brentford, a Newcastle acquisition of Thiago would give them a large profit margin.
In other news, Sky has announced a significant price cut for its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle for the 2025/26 season, offering over 1,400 live matches, including at least 215 Premier League games, offering up to 100 more than last season.
