English Brentford have become the new contenders from the Premier League, having shown serious interest in the left winger of Cologne Said El Mali. The 19-year-old footballer has been under the radar of Chelsea and Brighton scouts for the past three months.

Zokrema and the Seagulls were in active negotiations about the transfer of Gravets even before the hour of the summer transfer window. Protea was lost, and the clubs were unable to agree on the price: the Cologne administration was determined to reduce the transfer value of its talent, which would result in approximately 35 million euros.

Bringing back its brightness to El Mala has become a hot commodity for the production season. His performance in the Bundeslisa earned him the respect not only of the leading clubs, but also of the coaching staff of the national team. Bundestim head coach Julian Nagelsmann has already called the youngster to the warehouse of the head team in Germany, and now he has a high chance of losing until the team’s application for the World Championship 2026 in Northern America.

In the current Bundesliga season, Said El Mala played in all 34 matches, scoring 13 goals and 4 assists.
