Brentford are pushing to win the race to sign versatile Scottish defender Aaron Hickey.
The Bees are hoping to firm up their long-standing interest in Bologna's Hickey, who has been the subject of growing interest ahead of the summer window.
Thomas Frank's side have recovered from a mid-season wobble and now sit 11th in the Premier League table, 12 points clear of relegation with one game remaining.

Arsenal, Newcastle and Italian side Napoli have also been linked with former Celtic youngster Hickey, who has played on both the left and right as a defender and also a wingback.
