Brentford have confirmed the signing of forward Igor Thiago from Club Bruges. The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract with Brentford and will join the Premier League side in the summer. Thiago is the second-top scorer in the Belgian Pro League this season, with his 16 goals in 24 games bettered only by Kevin Denkey’s 19 for Cercle Bruges. “We have signed a key player for a key position," said Thomas Frank. "Thiago is a very exciting striker who fits the role in our team. He is hard-working and a very good pressing player. He is also a physical presence, very good in the box and can link the play."
