Manchester United<\/a> are reportedly battling with Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur and Chelsea<\/a> over a deal to sign Brentford star Igor Thiago, as per Caught Offside<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n After being impressed by the 25-year-old\u2019s performances for Club Brugge, the Bees decided to purchase him a couple of years ago. However, he couldn\u2019t serve his new club properly during his debut campaign due to a serious injury.<\/p>\n Having returned to full fitness, he showcased his goal-scoring prowess last campaign, scoring 25 goals and registering a solitary assist in 40 appearances across all competitions. After proving his worth in club football, Thiago secured his place in Brazil\u2019s World Cup squad.<\/p>\n Now, TEAMtalk<\/em> claim that Thiago\u2019s recent eye-catching performances haven\u2019t gone unnoticed as Man Utd, Chelsea and Tottenham have registered their interest in him through intermediaries, with the English clubs looking to bolster the frontline this summer.<\/p>\n Moreover, Bayern Munich have continued to monitor his progress closely. However, Brentford have no intention of letting him leave after recently tying him down to a fresh term until 2031.<\/p>\n The report state that Thiago isn\u2019t even keen on leaving Gtech Community Stadium this summer as he believes he currently has the perfect platform to continue his development. As a result, Keith Andrews\u2019 side are confident of keeping hold of him.<\/p>\n Thiago is a 6ft 3in tall right-footed striker. He is quick, strong, good in the air, can finish off his chances, is efficient at taking penalties and also works hard without possession.<\/p>\n After signing Danny Welbeck this summer, Chelsea currently have the Englishman plus Nicolas Jackson, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap as main striker options.<\/p>\n So, they don\u2019t need to add further depth to this position unless anyone leaves, especially given that they won\u2019t be playing European football next season.<\/p>\n On the other hand, with Richarlison\u2019s existing deal set to expire at the end of next season, Tottenham could do with signing a new striker if he leaves this summer.<\/p>\n Man Utd, meanwhile, currently have Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee as CF options. However, Zirkzee has been linked with a move away; as a result, it appears the Red Devils are exploring striker options.<\/p>\nBattle<\/h2>\n
