"He didn't have the best of starts to life in the Premier League as two serious knee injuries meant he was on the pitch for a total of just 169 minutes last season. However, Igor Thiago has completely turned things around in the ongoing campaign. Following the departure of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, he has been handed a starting role in the team, and the Brazilian striker is backing it up with sensational performances."
"In his 10 league outings, he has found the back of the net on six occasions; only Erling Haaland has a better record in the English top flight. Having found the back of the net against teams like Liverpool and Manchester United, his stock has risen significantly. Igor Thiago now finds himself on the wishlist of Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa. All three clubs are scouting him and have already established contact to understand what it would take to sign him."
Igor Thiago, a 24-year-old Brazilian striker, progressed from Cruzeiro to Ludogorets and Club Brugge before joining Brentford in summer 2024.
