HITC Sport understands Brentford line up move for Dutch winger.

Brentford are closing in on the signing of PSV Eindhoven winger Florian Jozefzoon, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the Dutch club.
Brentford have been tracking Jozefzoon for some time and they are now hoping to bring him to Griffin Park.
Jozefzoon has found himself down the pecking order at PSV this season with his five appearances in the Eredivisie all coming from the bench.
The 25-year-old, who came through the ranks at Ajax, joined PSV from RKC Waalwijk in 2013.
Jozefzoon saw his progress at PSV halted by a serious cruciate knee ligament injury he picked up in January 2015 which sidelined him for nine months.

The former Holland under-21 international made a successful return from the injury, but he is keen on playing regular first-team football at this stage of his career.
PSV are reluctant to lose Jozefzoon, but with the player’s contract due to expire in the summer they have decided to cash in on him rather than risk seeing him leave for nothing at the end of the season.
Brentford boss Dean Smith is keen to add to his attacking options before the close of the transfer window and he sees Jozefzoon as someone who can score and provide goals for his side in the second half of the campaign.
