Augsburg Eyeing Brentford’s Frank Onyeka on Loan
In a bid to bolster their midfield, Bundesliga club Augsburg are reportedly in advanced talks with Brentford’s Nigerian international, Frank Onyeka. According to sources, the 26-year-old defensive midfielder has expressed his desire to leave the Bees in search of regular playing time.
Onyeka, who has three years remaining on his contract with Brentford, has struggled to break into the first team last season. He has also started the London club’s opening two games of the season on the bench. The Nigeria international is eager to take his career to the next level, and Augsburg’s interest could be the perfect opportunity.
However, Brentford are only willing to sanction a loan deal for Onyeka, without including a buy option. This means that the German club will have to negotiate a separate transfer fee if they wish to make the move permanent.
Augsburg, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, are keen to secure Onyeka’s services. The midfielder’s ability to control the tempo of the game and break up opposition attacks could be a valuable asset for the Bundesliga club.
As the transfer window heats up, fans of both Augsburg and Brentford will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of these negotiations. Will Onyeka make the move to Germany, or will he remain at Griffin Park? Only time will tell.
