Brentford will rival Brighton in the race for Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
The 25-year-old is valued at around £40million by Leicester as he has three years left on his contract and played a key role in the club’s promotion campaign last season.
Brighton made an attempt to sign the England U21 international in January but Leicester were unwilling to sell unless they received an extraordinary offer, while Dewsbury-Hall, who has been at the club since he was eight, was reluctant to go.

Brentford remain in contention as other sides in the bottom half of the Premier League monitor developments.
Leicester are under pressure to sell due to ongoing PSR problems. Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi will leave as a free agent amid interest from Everton.
The Goodison club are also completing the signing of Marseille striker Iliman Ndiaye in a £17million deal, pending his medical treatment.
