Thomas Frank says West Ham’s exploits in the Europa Conference League have him dreaming of doing the same with Brentford one day.

The Bees have been in contention for European qualification this season and still maintain a very slim chance of doing so with three games left to play of the Premier League campaign.

Frank’s side face off against the Hammers on Sunday afternoon, who are in between their two Conference League semi-final legs having beaten AZ Alkmaar 2-1 at the London Stadium on Thursday.

And Frank says it is encouraging to see West Ham, who have otherwise endured a disappointing Premier League campaign, compete for European trophies after also making the Europa League semi-finals last season.
