Brentford set to sign Kevin Schade

Fresh from their momentous home win over Liverpool, Brentford are closing in on a first January signing - the young Freiburg forward Kevin Schade.

After beating yet another top-six club on Monday Night Football, Brentford have agreed a deal to sign Schade on an initial loan until the end of the season.

There is also an obligation to buy Schade if certain performance-related add-ons are met and, should they, Brentford are committed to spending a fee in the region of £20m to sign him.

The Germany U21 international is flying into London now to undergo a medical.
