Brentford are in advanced talks with Strasbourg for striker Habib Diallo.

While Strasbourg are now owned by Chelsea's umbrella company, BlueCo, Diallo is on the brink of joining Premier League rivals Brentford.

French Sports Zone reports Brentford are in advanced negotiations to sign Diallo, 28.

Diallo, who has a contract until 2025, is said to be keen on a move to England.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has been on the hunt for a striker with Ivan Toney banned until January for breaching betting rules.
