Brentford target ex-Premier League star to bolster defensive options

Brentford are considering a move for Barcelona's Andreas Christensen, as manager Thomas Frank looks at whether he can improve his defensive options this January.

The Camp Nou hierarchy want to make outgoings to meet financial restrictions but it is understood the former Chelsea centre-half wants to fight for his place.

Christensen has been injured for much of the season, meaning he has only made one league appearance.

While the 28-year-old is intent on reclaiming his place, Barca's financial situation has meant clubs are willing to test whether a deal is possible.

Rashford, who has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford during the January transfer window, has not featured for United since a 2-1 victory over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League back in December.

Rashford's Barcelona hopes 'dwindle'

Sky Sports’ Melissa Reddy is reporting that Marcus Rashford’s hopes of joining Barcelona this month are “receding by the day”.

The Catalan clubs need to “create salary space” in order to sign Rashford, but they are “having issues trimming the squad”, with Eric Garcia having decided to stay and Ansu Fati not wanting to leave.

Reddy does not rule out a move though, saying it would be “opportunistic” and late in the window if it were to happen.
