Brentford Close to £37M Deal for Lens Midfielder Sangare

Brentford are pushing to finalize a deal for Lens midfielder Mamadou Sangare. The Mali international, 24, is seen as a replacement for Jordan Henderson. Sources indicate the package would top the £37 million (plus £5 million in add-ons) the Bees paid Bournemouth for Dango Ouattara last year. While no agreement is signed yet, the move is advancing rapidly and is expected to go through.
