Premier League club Brentford has made an initial offer for US Soccer forward
Brentford has started the season on high and is currently 9th in the Premier League. Their striker Ivan Toney is in scintillating form this season and has scored 12 of their 30 goals.
However, Brentford’s star forward is subject to suspension from the FA for the betting charges, and the club wants to be ready if the player gets a suspension. They have set their sights on Haji Wright, who has scored ten goals so far in the Turkish Super Lig in 16 appearances. Wright is currently tied second top goalscorer in the Super Lig.
But Brentford is not the only club interested in the forward. Premier League rival Crystal Palace is also considering the move for Wright from Antalyaspor, currently 15th on the table. It will be interesting to see how the Turkish club reacts to the offer as they are fighting the relegation battle.
Antalyaspor will face a tough task ahead to keep the player as Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are also scouting the USMNT forward. If the player decides to move, Antalyaspor will look to cash in on the forward.
