As the summer transfer window heats up, Brentford are clearly not wasting any time making bold statements.
The club is actively reshaping its squad, and their latest target is turning heads across the Premier League.
Brentford Make Big Move for Ipswich Star Omari Hutchinson
Brentford have tabled a £35 million bid for Ipswich Town winger Omari Hutchinson, a rising talent who appears eager for the step up.
The 20-year-old impressed last season and now finds himself at the center of a growing tug-of-war among Premier League clubs.
Sources suggest Hutchinson is open to the switch, with Brentford viewing him as the perfect fit to sharpen their attack.
Brentford Prepare for Possible Departures in Attack
The push for Hutchinson comes at a strategic time for the Bees.
With questions surrounding the futures of star forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, Brentford are eager to reinforce their frontline before the transfer window shuts.
Losing either player would be a blow—but securing Hutchinson could soften it significantly.
Other Premier League Clubs Circle Hutchinson
While Brentford are leading the race, they’re not alone.
Everton have also shown interest in Hutchinson, and there are whispers that Nottingham Forest might jump into the chase.
Forest are still dealing with the fallout of Anthony Elanga’s move to Newcastle, and their tense situation with Tottenham over Morgan Gibbs-White is still unresolved.
Spurs believe they triggered a £60 million release clause for the midfielder, but the deal remains in limbo—frustrating all sides.
Jordan Henderson Signs On, Brings Leadership and Experience
Amid all this transfer drama, Brentford fans also got a major boost of experience added to their midfield.
The club finalized the signing of former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson this week.
The 35-year-old, fresh from a spell abroad, has committed to a two-year contract.
Brentford’s new head coach, Keith Andrews, hailed Henderson as “one of the most influential leaders in modern Premier League years,” a glowing endorsement as the veteran midfielder prepares to fill the shoes of Christian Norgaard, who joined Arsenal last week.
Henderson Praises Brentford’s Growth and New Boss
Speaking after his arrival, Henderson made it clear that he’s been watching Brentford’s progress closely.
“I’ve always admired what they’ve done—how they’ve grown and what they’ve achieved in the last few years,” he said.
He also gave high praise to coach Keith Andrews, who is stepping into his first top-flight managerial role.
“Keith was really honest and open when we spoke,” Henderson shared.
“He’s passionate and ready to get going—and that energy is infectious.”
What Could Happen Next?
With Brentford actively reshaping both ends of the pitch, more moves seem likely before the window closes.
The club appears determined to stay competitive and ambitious, even if it means letting go of familiar faces.
For now, all eyes are on Omari Hutchinson’s next move—and whether Brentford can win the battle for his signature.
