Brentford eyeing move for Blackburn attacking midfielder Sammie Szmodics

As Brentford prepares to navigate the intricacies of the transfer market, securing a player of Szmodics’ caliber would undoubtedly bolster their squad’s attacking prowess. With Ivan Toney’s potential departure looming, the addition of Szmodics could prove instrumental in maintaining the club’s competitive edge.
