Brentford midfielder, Frank Onyeka has set his sights high as he targets playing Europe with the Bees in the coming season.
Onyeka joined Brentford from Midtjylland in 2021 and has gone on to make 57 appearances in West London.
This season, Thomas Frank has opted for Mathias Jensen, Christian Norgaard and Vitaly Janelt as a midfield three.
So far this campaign, the Nigerian has started just one game as he came in against Burnley for a 3-0 win.
Despite a lack of starts, it is clear that the midfielder plans on a long-term stay with the Bees as he sets his sights.
What has Frank Onyeka said?
Speaking with LiveScore, Onyeka has explained what his ambitions are for the future at the GTECH Community Stadium.
Brentford have never featured in European competition but under Frank, players are dreaming.
When asked about his goals, the Nigerian international said: “I’d love to play Champions League again.
“I think as a club, we can play in Europe. I think that’s what we aim for as well.”
There was a time following promotion when the Conference League looked like a possibility, but it never happened.
Onyeka has played in the elite European competition with his former club and would like to return there.
On that point, he added: “So it would be nice to play Champions League with Brentford.”
After a slow start to the Premier League this season, the Bees have won two on the bounce and are looking up.
With that being said, Champions League isn’t on the cards just yet. Onyeka wasn’t oblivious to that: “How long do you think that will take? I don’t know, you tell me! But we’ll see.”
The midfielder hasn’t done enough to take the place of the current Bees trio but potentially with more game time he could.
