Brentford is taking significant steps to build on last season's success by securing key players on long-term contracts. Michael Kayode, the promising right back, has signed a new deal that will keep him at the club until 2032.

This move comes amidst anticipated interest in Kayode, particularly from higher-tier teams, including Liverpool. According to Fabrizio Romano, Brentford acted swiftly to lock down the Italian talent after his impressive debut season in the Premier League. This contract extension not only helps deter interest from bigger clubs but also positions Brentford to demand a larger fee should they decide to sell.

Kayode gained attention last season for his remarkable long throws, which became a highlight as set pieces dominated the game. However, the 21-year-old has demonstrated that he possesses a well-rounded skill set, solidifying his status as a crucial part of Brentford's future plans after contributing to a historically successful campaign.

As Brentford focuses on retaining their talent, other clubs are making moves in the transfer market. Trevoh Chalobah is currently in Milan discussing personal terms for a transfer to Inter, while Manchester City has completed a record-breaking deal for midfielder Elliot Anderson at an astounding £116m.
