According to the latest reports, could be the subject of a bid from Saudi Pro League team Al-Ahli although they have also submitted what looks like a low-ball offer.
The Saudi Pro League outfit believe they can get Brentford on board with a fee of just £30m while his Premier League admirers have also been unwilling to meet the asking price in full up front.

Diogo Jota struck a brace in Liverpool s comfortable 5-1 victory against 10-man West Ham as they got their Carabao Cup defence off to the perfect start.
The Portugal international lost his starting spot to Darwin Nunez for the 3-0 Premier League win over Bournemouth at the weekend, but the two were paired together on Wednesday night as head coach made nine changes.
Jota was deployed in the slightly deeper role but still showed his often erratic partner just how ruthless you must be as a striker, netting two effortlessly clinical goals.
Nunez, by contrast, struggled to find an opening but that was probably as much a result of Arne Slot’s team selection lacking a passer of genuine quality.
