By

Some of the latest transfer speculation involving the area’s clubs…

West Ham are monitoring Brentford’s England Under-21 midfielder Josh Dasilva, according to The Guardian.

The newspaper say Brentford will not sell Dasilva on the cheap if offers are made, having stuck to their guns over the valuation of Said Benrahma before he joined the Hammers.


However, Bees boss Thomas Frank said this week there was no chance at all of the club selling any of its best players during the January transfer window.

Frank said: “I’m not worried. I understand why Premier League clubs will approach, because we have some very good players.

“No players will leave us in January. That’s not an option. They enjoy playing for Brentford and we are enjoying the journey.

“None of the players want to leave us and we definitely don’t want to let them go.”
