Igor Thiago: Brentford sign Brazilian forward on five-year deal from Club Bruges

Brentford have signed Brazilian forward Igor Thiago from Club Bruges.

The 22-year-old will remain at the Belgian club for the rest of the season before joining the Bees on 1 July.

Thiago, who has scored 16 goals in 24 league games this season, has signed a five-year contract with an option for an extra year.

"We have signed a key player for a key position. Thiago is a very exciting striker who fits the role in our team," said Brentford boss Thomas Frank.

Last week, Frank said he expects striker Ivan Toney to leave Brentford in the summer.
