Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Thiago joined Brentford last summer but made just eight appearances due to a serious injury and an infection after surgery. Despite that awful start to life in England, he now steps into the Brentford team with a surprising opportunity for a large role in the attack. Before joining Brentford, he scored 18 goals with Club Brugge and he's expected to shoulder a significant load for the Bees now that he's fit. The thought is that if fit, there will be minutes for him given the player movement that Brentford has had. Yet, with a new manager and minimal time in the Premier League, he's an extremely boom-or-bust forward.
Inks contract extension
Thiago signed a contract extension with Brentford until 2031 with a club option for an additional year, the club announced. "It's brilliant that Thiago has committed his long-term future to the club. The connection that he has with his team-mates, the staff and the fans, as well as how much the club means to him and he means to us, is pretty evident for everybody to see. Again, it's the person before the player. I love working with him and I've loved seeing his evolution as a player. How he plays is such a big part of how we play and what our season has been so far. He's been a massive player for us, so it's a contract he thoroughly deserves and I'm really happy that the club have been able to get it done," said head coach Keith Andrews.
ANALYSIS
Thiago signed a contract extension through the summer of 2031 with a club option for an additional year. The Brazilian striker has scored 17 goals in 26 Premier League appearances this season, added a goal in the Carabao Cup, recorded his first Premier League hat trick against Everton, and became the fastest player in club history to reach 10 league goals in a single campaign. He also won the Premier League Player of the Month award in November and currently trails only Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race.
