Brentford boss Thomas Frank is delighted to have Neal Maupay back.

The striker has returned to the Bees from Everton.

“It's quite remarkable," said Frank. “I looked back four years ago when he was last year and Rico [Henry] was the only player left from that period. That tells us about the transformation of the club and team since he left.

“It's fantastic to have Neal back. He's a great character, a strong personality, a player that pushes every training and game and badly wants to win. He's also matured. He lost his way a little bit, but there are always reasons for that. I am sure that together I can get the best out of Neal."

“I'm happy", Frank said of Brentford's transfer business. “I think we had a very good window. We replaced a very good goalkeeper with another very good goalkeeper that is Holland's No1, so very pleased with that.

“We got a very good centre-back in that we think has a very big potential in Nathan, and we got Neal Maupay in — just on the last day to give us a little more flexibility and strength up front."
