Brentford are in advanced discussions with Ligue 1 side Rennes over a deal for French striker Arnaud Kalimuendo, as boss Keith Andrews looks to add more firepower to his growing squad.

The 23-year-old, who bagged 18 goals last season and boasts a silver medal from the Olympics, has long been admired by Premier League clubs. His potential arrival would follow the capture of Dango Ouattara, signalling Brentford’s intent to go all-out in attack ahead of the new campaign.

Kalimuendo’s pace, movement, and proven goal record could make him a game-changer in West London — if the Bees can win the race for his signature.
