Ivan Toney, despite his ban, has been linked with moves to Manchester United in a transfer away from Brentford.
The Englishman is a top player for the Bees, but no player is irreplaceable.
If he is to be sold, Andreas Skov Olsen is an option that could keep Thomas Frank’s side pushing up the league.
Who is Andreas Skov Olsen?
A fully fledged Denmark international who started his senior career at 17 with Nordsjaelland.
His goalscoring exploits began in the Danish Superliga as he scored over a goal every other game, 22 goals in 41 games.
After two years as a senior player, he gained a big move to Serie A with Bologna.
The Italian outfit paid £6 million for his services. He went on to make 70 appearances for the club.
During his time in Italy, he played more as a midfielder and as a result only scored three goals for the club.
He was on the move again two years later as Club Brugge came in with a £6.5 million bid.
The Dane has gone onto be a goal scorer once again in Belgium, scoring 17 goals in one and a half seasons.
So far this season he has scored four goals in four games and is top scorer in the Pro League.
Why should Brentford sign Andreas Skov Olsen?
He just fits into the remit of Frank’s side.
A Danish talent who can play in a varied number of positions along the front line and in midfield.
He are so many strong facets to his game which would add to the Bees team.
Taking set pieces, dribbling with the ball and holding up the ball for his team mates to get up the field.
Although he doesn’t possess the aerial ability of Toney, he is built in a similar mould to the Englishman.
So far life without Toney has gone well. Bryan Mbuemo, Yoane Wissa and Kevin Schade are deputising well.
Throw Skov Olsen into that mix and it could be very exciting.
