DONE DEAL: Brentford break transfer record for Hull youngster Lewis-Potter

Brentford have broken a club record to sign Keane Lewis-Potter from Hull City for £20m.

The 21-year-old has signed a six-year contract and will link up with his new teammates in Germany.

"I am pleased that we have managed to sign one of the biggest young talents in the Championship," Brentford boss Thomas Frank said.

"He had a very good season last year. He scored 13 goals and contributed four assists in a team that were fighting a little bit towards the bottom of the league. Those are impressive numbers.

"We have a player who scores his goals by arriving in the box and attacking the last line. He gets in the position to convert the chances made for him.

"He is a flexible player, he can play both sides, as a striker and as a ten if we want to do that. He has a very good mentality.

"He fits the Brentford model perfectly. He is a good young player who we think has the qualities to play in the Premier League now. He will also develop even further."
