Brentford’s Neal Maupay is reportedly on the radar of Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Huddersfield Town.
Maupay is playing well for Brentford at the moment, and with the Bees not going to finish in the Championship playoffs this season, they could struggle to keep hold of the 22-year-old beyond the summer of 2019.
While Villa and Middlesbrough are aiming to finish in the top six of the Championship this season, Huddersfield have been relegated from the Premier League.
Stats
Maupay joined Brentford from Saint-Etienne in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Hull Daily Mail to be worth £1.6 million.
The 22-year-old Frenchman – who worked with current Villa manager Dean Smith at Griffith Park – made 25 starts and 17 substitute appearances in the Championship for Brentford during the 2017-18 campaign, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
So far this campaign, the 22-year-old – who can operate as a forward or as an attacking midfielder – has made 40 appearances in the Championship, scoring 23 goals and providing seven assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
