Brentford have completed the signing of Igor Thiago from Club Bruges.

The 22-year-old striker will join on a five-year-deal, starting on 1 July. The club will also have the option to extend the contract by an additional 12 months.

Reports in Belgium claim Brentford have paid €37million (£31m) for Thiago.

The move comes amid doubts over the future of Ivan Toney, who is expected to leave in the summer with Chelsea and Arsenal interested.

Thiago, who began his career in his native Brazil, joined Club Brugge in June from Bulgarian side Ludogorets.
