Brentford FC have roped in Keane Lewis-Potter from Hull City. The Bees announced: “We are delighted to announce the signing of Keane Lewis-Potter.
“The 21-year-old attacker joins us from Sky Bet Championship side Hull City for an undisclosed fee.
“He has signed a six-year contract and there is a club option for an extra year.”
Thomas Frank, Brentford FC Head Coach, said: “I am pleased that we have managed to sign one of the biggest young talents in the Championship. He had a very good season last year. He scored 13 goals and contributed four assists in a team that were fighting a little bit towards the bottom of the league. Those are impressive numbers.
“We have a player who scores his goals by arriving in the box and attacking the last line. He gets in the position to convert the chances made for him. He is a flexible player, he can play both sides, as a striker. And as a ten if we want to do that. He has a very good mentality.
“He fits the Brentford model perfectly, he is a good young player who we think has the qualities; to play in the Premier League now. He will also develop even further. We have a player who scores his goals by arriving in the box and attacking the last line.”
Phil Giles, Brentford Director of Football, added: “Keane is exactly the sort of player we like to sign at Brentford; he is young with a desire to improve and get to the top. The length of contract demonstrates our faith in Keane to be a big player for us for many years.”
