According to Sky Sports, Brentford have now agreed a £41 million deal with Lens to sign the highly rated midfielder.

Sangare, who had also been linked with a potential reunion with Pierre Sage at Crystal Palace, is now preparing to travel to the UK and undergo his medical.

While it’s a high fee for a club like Brentford to pay, it’s not quite a club record falls just short of the £42m the Bees paid to Bournemouth for Dango Ouattara last summer.
