Brentford boss Frank: Norgaard and Jensen suited for Prem

Brentford boss Thomas Frank is convinced by the Premier League quality of Danish pair Christian Norgaard and Mathias Jensen.

Norgaard is already on the scoresheet for the Bees and has impressed in the opening weeks.

Frank told Bold: "I think before we moved up that he is perhaps the best defensive midfielder in the Championship, and I certainly think that he has a level for the Premier League, and he has also shown that.

"He can play at a really high level, and it has been nice to see that he could be involved and contribute, it has been really good."

On Jensen, the manager also said: "Primarily it has been the injury he collected in the European Championship semi-final that kept him out of the team, and then he has to get up in gear and show that he must play - but I am convinced that he can also play in the Premier League.

"I actually believe in some areas that it suits him even better. There is some pace and some quality that has gone up, but also less physical duels.

"It also goes faster on the ball, and it suits Mathias and Nørgaard well."
