Transfer gossip: Brentford eye German ace Robin Hack over Portsmouth winger Ronan Curtis
Brentford’s interest in Pompey winger Ronan Curtis could be cooling.
That’s if reports emerging from Sky Sports are to be believed as the Bees look for potential replacements for in-demand Said Benrahma.
The News revealed last month that the Championship outfit were keen on Blues winger Curtis.
Manager Thomas Frank had identified the Irishman as a player who could help fill the void left by Benrahma should the host of Premier League clubs keeping tabs on his progress make a concrete offer.
The £25m-rated forward has been linked with the likes of Chelsea, Aston Villa and West Ham but remains at Griffin Park as Brentford prepare for another season in the Championship.
That hasn’t stopped the Bees identifying a suitable replacement, though.
And according to Sky, Nuremburg’s Robin Hack has now emerged as Frank’s number-one target.
The 21-year-old scored 10 goals in 31 appearances for his current side last season as they finished 16th in the table.
The left-winger is also a Germany under-21 international.
No doubt, Pompey fans will welcome the development, with Curtis seen as a key player in the Blues’ latest battle to win promotion to the Championship.
He scored 14 goals and created 12 others last season and was named in EFL on Quest’s League One team of the season.
