'He's a good player' - Brentford chief asked about potential signing of Super Eagles midfielder

Published: June 12, 2021

In a lighthearted conversation with Beesotted Brentford podcast, Brentford Director of Football Rasmus Ankersen was asked about the potential signing of Super Eagles star Frank Onyeka in the summer transfer window.

The Brentford chief was brought to the pub for over three hours to chat and joke with the Bees supporters whilst being completely honest.

Ankersen also works for FC Midtjylland, the team Onyeka has been representing since 2016, so there's apparently a big brother-little brother relationship between Brentford and the Danish club.

There is a gentleman's agreement in place for Onyeka to be sold in the summer transfer window after Midtjylland prevented him from joining a new club last summer because they needed his services for the 2020-2021 Champions League.

Asked what's going on about Onyeka, Ankersen responded : "He's a good player, where did you hear about him?"

Ankersen joked that negotiations with Midtjylland would be tough as he dismissed suggestions that it is easy to bring players from Denmark to the Premier League.

He added : "It's going to be a long, long conversation to have".

Onyeka started all the six matches contested by Midtjylland in the Champions League and showed off his tackling abilities in the middle of the field.
