Brentford have looked to improve their forward line by returning to Club Brugge for their latest signing.
The Bees, who reaped the rewards of signing Igor Thiago from the Belgians, have now completed a deal with teenage star Kaye Furo.

Brentford have agreed a deal worth around £8 million plus add-ons for the 18-year-old, who only made his senior debut in August.
The 1.80 meter tall prodigy, who signed for Club Brugge as a 15-year-old in 2022, has signed a five-year contract with the club.
Brentford boss Keith Andrews said: “Kaye is someone we have been following for some time and we are really keen to bring him to the club.”
“I like his characteristics and feel we can develop them further in the environment we have created.”
“I have no doubt he will be a great player for us.”
Who is Kaye Furo?
Furo made his senior debut for Club Brugge when he came on as a late substitute in the 6-0 win over Rangers, securing Champions League qualification.
The Belgium U21 international has since made a single appearance in the competition proper, in a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal.
That came just days after he scored his first goal in December, one of just five games he played in the Jupiter Pro League (zero starts).

In total, Furo played eight games in the Belgian top flight, the Champions League and the Belgian Cup in the 2025/26 season.
Although the striker plays for Belgium in all age groups from under-15 to under-21, he is still eligible to play for Nigeria.
“It’s very exciting to be here and I’m just very grateful. For me it’s a dream come true to come to a club like Brentford,” said Furo.
“Brentford is the right club because of the energy from the moment I came here and when I saw everyone for the first time. When I came here I saw that this was a family club and the energy is real, it’s not faked or faked.”
“I really felt like this was the right club for me to develop as a striker and become one of the best strikers one day. For me, that’s my main focus.”
“Every day when I come to practice, I’m going to put my head down and keep working until I can become what I want to become.”

When Furo was asked on Brentford’s club website to describe himself as a player, he replied: “Speed and power.”
“I’m a striker who likes to do everything in the air – headers, jumps and fighting with defenders.”
“I can’t wait to work here and become a better version of myself. I can’t wait to start playing and becoming part of the club.”
Brentford will be hoping Furo can repeat the success of Killer Thiago, who arrives from Club Brugge for £30m in 2024 and is currently the Premier League’s second-top scorer behind Erling Haaland.
