Spurs, Newcastle, Villa in Three-Way Race for Brentford Striker Igor Thiago

By Akpo ESCO

Tottenham, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are all understood to be very interested in Igor Thiago as he’s “highly likely” to leave Brentford this January 

first reported in my exclusive here for the Daily Briefing, it looks like Thiago’s superb form in the Premier League so far this season has really caught the eye of bigger clubs ahead of the winter window.

It remains to be seen if the Brazilian striker will definitely move, but it seems Brentford aren’t too optimistic about keeping him as the likes of Spurs, Newcastle and Villa prepare their moves.

“Newcastle, Spurs and Villa are strongly interested after closely scouting Igor Thiago. 

Even Brentford know now that they’re highly likely to receive tempting offers for him when the transfer window opens again,” one source said

Unai Emery is a big fan of the player, Arsenal would put a biding war between Villa and Spur
