Brentford are moving for Hamburg SV fullback Josha Vagnoman.

Sky Deutschland via Fussball Transfers says Brentford are moving for Vagoman as a replacement for Henrik Dalsgaard after his departure for FC Midtjylland.

Vagnoman has been watched by Brentford for several years and a move is now being prepared.

The defender has a deal with HSV to 2024.

Vagnoman is a Germany U21 international and has spent his entire professional career with HSV, having been spotted as a junior player with Hummelsbütteler SV. The young defender has been capped by Germany from U17-U21 level.

He became the youngest player to ever play in the Bundesliga for Hamburg SV when he debuted at the age of 17 years and 89 days in 2018. Last season, Vagnoman managed 25 appearances for HSV.

Brentford, meanwhile, are now in the final stages of preparing for their first campaign in the Premier League after winning promotion last season.
