Brentford new-look starting XI if January transfer rumours are true

Brentford are yet to invest heavily this month but have been linked with moves for attacking players.

So far this month, transfer activity at Brentford has been centred around talisman Ivan Toney as he returns from an eight-month ban. The England international has been linked with moves to Premier League sides Arsenal and Chelsea but Bees supporters will hope he remains at the Gtech as the deadline edges ever closer.

There's been little to get excited about so far when it comes to incomings in West London, with the club ruling out 'panic buys' over the next week despite a tricky run of form through the festive period and New Year.

Nonetheless, there are rumours out there and LondonWorld looks at a potential Brentford starting XI if those transfer links prove to be true.
