According to BBC Sport, Brentford have confirmed the signing of Mali midfielder Mamadou Sangare from RC Lens for a club record fee. The transfer represents a significant investment by the Bees as they bolster their midfield options.

The move brings an end to the midfielder's spell with Lens, with Brentford securing his services for an undisclosed sum believed to exceed their previous transfer record. Further details of the deal have not been announced.
