"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. As 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."
"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 and sees Thiago as ideal to be the long-term replacement for Ollie Watkins, another added. There's also a clear indication that Newcastle want to enter the market for another new striker again after a disappointing start for Yoane Wissa."
"Brentford will surely try their best to keep Thiago after his impressive run of 11 goals in 13 Premier League games so far this season. The Bees lost Bryan Mbeumo, Wissa, and Christian Norgaard in the summer, while manager Thomas Frank also left to take over at Tottenham. It's felt that Thiago could have his price, though, with clubs looking into signing the 24-year-old for around 35-40m."
Igor Thiago is widely expected to leave Brentford in January amid strong interest from Tottenham, Newcastle United and Aston Villa. The 24-year-old Brazilian has scored 11 goals in 13 Premier League games this season, prompting larger clubs to scout him closely. Brentford anticipate receiving tempting offers and may struggle to retain him, particularly after losing Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard in the summer and manager Thomas Frank departing to Tottenham. Unai Emery reportedly views Thiago as a potential long-term replacement for Ollie Watkins. Estimated transfer valuation is around £35–40 million, with Tottenham considering a loan-then-permanent structure.
