Igor Thiago aims to leave a mark at Brentford by becoming a part of their history, following his move to the Premier League club for a record-breaking fee of £30m.

England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has called on his teammates to “step up” in their upcoming quarter-final match against Switzerland. The Three Lions have had a solid run in the tournament so far, but Pickford believes they will need to raise their game to progress further.

In other news, Brentford have made a significant signing with the arrival of Brazilian forward Igor Thiago. The 23-year-old joins the Premier League side from Club Brugge in a club-record £30 million deal. Thiago, who scored 18 goals in 34 Belgian top-flight games last season, expressed his excitement at joining Brentford and his desire to make history with the club.

Thiago’s impressive goal-scoring record helped Club Brugge win the Belgian first division title last season. He was also named young player of the season in the UEFA Europa Conference League. With his arrival, Thiago could potentially replace England forward Ivan Toney, who has been linked with a move away from Brentford.

Having previously played for Ludogorets Razgrad in Bulgaria, Thiago has proven himself as a prolific goal-scorer. He netted 21 goals in the 2022/23 season and followed it up with 29 goals in the 2023/24 season across all competitions.

Thiago’s Premier League debut could come in Brentford’s opening match against Crystal Palace. The forward has been assigned the No. 9 shirt and is eager to make an impact in English football.

Overall, it is an exciting time for Brentford with the arrival of Thiago. England will be hoping to continue their success in the European Championship by defeating Switzerland in the quarter-finals.
