Brentford has finalized a club-record £30 million deal to acquire striker Igor Thiago from Club Brugge.

Brentford has made headlines by completing the club's record £30 million signing of Brazilian striker Igor Thiago from Club Brugge. 

At just 23 years old, Thiago is Brentford's first Brazilian player and agreed to the move back in February, marking his entry into the Premier League.

"I'm thrilled to join Brentford and get acquainted with the club," Thiago expressed. The forward, who scored 18 goals in 34 matches during Brugge's title-winning season, has been handed the prestigious number nine shirt following Kevin Schade's move to number seven.

"It's a tremendous source of joy for me to play for this club in the Premier League," Thiago enthused.

Named Young Player of the Season in the UEFA Conference League last season, Thiago emphasized his career ambitions, stating, "Since leaving Brazil, my goal has been to gather positive experiences, win championships, carve out a reputation, and create history."
