Brentford have reportedly opened discussions with Bournemouth over a potential move for midfielder Keith Andrews as they look to fill the void left by Bryan Mbeumo's departure.
The Bees are keen to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign and see Andrews as a suitable candidate to add depth and creativity to their midfield.
Why Brentford Want Andrews
Andrews, who has been a standout performer for Bournemouth, offers versatility and experience in the top flight. His ability to dictate play and contribute defensively makes him an attractive option for Thomas Frank's side.
Mbeumo's Big Shoes to Fill
Bryan Mbeumo's exit has left a significant gap in Brentford's attacking options. The French winger was instrumental last season, and replacing his goals and assists will be no easy task.
While Andrews isn't a like-for-like replacement, his work rate and technical skills could help Brentford maintain their competitive edge.
What's Next?
Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with Brentford hopeful of securing a deal before the transfer window closes. Bournemouth, however, are reluctant to lose one of their key players without a fight.
Fans will be watching closely as this potential transfer saga unfolds in the coming weeks.
