Michael Kayode
21-Year-Old
Brentford
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kayode joined Brentford on a permanent deal after spending the second half of the 2024/25 campaign on loan with the club. The defender started the final five matches at right-back and enters the new season competing with the recently-healed Aaron Hickey for a regular role. He logged 22 starts at Fiorentina in 2023/24 but is still fairly fresh to the game. His highlights last season were long throw-ins, something that are unlikely to stop with new manager Keith Andrews being the former set-piece coach. Kayode could be an intriguing fantasy asset in 2025/26 with the main question being consistent starts.
Assists Thiago in 2-2 draw
Kayode assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Everton.
ANALYSIS
Kayode assisted Igor Thiago for his second goal of the game. The goal put Brentford into the lead, but it wasn't intended as an assist. Kayode had put a shot towards goal when it bounced off Igor Thiago's thigh and went over Jordan Pickford. This is his first assist of the season.

Training, likely an option

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chelsea to enter race
Chelsea have joined the transfer race to sign Kayode, according to Ekrem Konur.
ANALYSIS
Chelsea are one of two London-based clubs keen on Kayode, as Arsenal also want to make a move for the Brentford right-back. Kayode seems ticketed to move to a bigger club in the summer, and it seems it'll only be a matter of time before we learn where he'll play in the 2026/27 campaign.
