Brentford have reportedly added Hayden Hackney to their shortlist of transfer targets. The Middlesbrough midfielder is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Fulham may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. So far this season, Brentford are steady at both ends (1.44 goals scored per game, 1.36 goals conceded per game). The role for Hayden Hackney would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Speculation continues to connect Brentford with Said El Mala while no fresh rumours surround Middlesbrough. Looking for Brentford transfer rumours?
