Brentford Secure New Long-Term Deal for Igor Thiago

The extension rewards the 24-year-old’s breakout as Brentford’s focal striker under Keith Andrews following an early meniscus layoff.

Overview

  • Brentford confirmed Thiago signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with a club option for an additional year, while some reports described a five-year term to 2031.
  • Thiago has 17 goals in 26 Premier League matches this season, placing him second in the league scoring chart.
  • The club noted 18 goals in 27 appearances across all competitions, and he has been named Premier League Player of the Month in November and January.
  • Manager Keith Andrews praised Thiago’s importance and his bond with teammates, staff and supporters, calling the new deal fully deserved.
  • Signed from Club Brugge for a reported club-record fee of about £30 million plus add-ons, Thiago overcame a four-month meniscus injury before stepping up as Brentford’s leading attacking reference after departures of Bryan Mbeumo and Wissa.
