Brentford are reportedly set to rival Newcastle for the signature of in-demand Bologna left-back Aaron Hickey.
Hickey, 19, is attracting plenty of interest after producing a string of impressive displays for Bologna this season.
The Scotland teenager also earned his first two senior caps over the past week, coming off the bench in their friendlies against Poland and Austria.
Earlier this week, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claimed Newcastle were amongst a host of clubs eyeing a potential move for him this summer.
It is believed they are not deterred by Bologna's £15-20million asking price for Hickey, who is still under contract until 2024.
