Brentford made a few additions to their squad over the summer.

Thomas Frank freshened up his ranks ahead of this season.

He also let some players leave the club permanently to pursue new opportunities.

Here is a look at where they all ended up....

Brentford loaned him out to Hull City to get some game time for the second-half of last season.

The striker only scored once for the Tigers and was then sold to Middlesbrough. He has since scored once in six games for Chris Wilder’s side.

Christian Eriksen, Manchester United

Manchester United swooped to sign the ex-Tottenham Hotspur ace when his contract with the Bees expired.

He has since become a hit at Old Trafford and has helped Erik ten Hag win his last four league matches.

Jean Jeanvier, Auxerre

The centre-back fell down the pecking order after the club’s promotion to the Premier League.

He has now returned to France with Auxerre and has called time on his career in England, for now at least.

Dominic Thompson, Blackpool

Frank sanctioned loan exits for him to Swindon Town and Ipswich Town over recent campaigns.

The left-back was then sold on a permanent basis to Blackpool in July and has played in all 10 of their Championship outings this season.

Luka Racic, SønderjyskE

The 23-year-old struggled for game time during his spell at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Despite still having time left on his contract, he was allowed to move back to Denmark with SønderjyskE earlier this month.

The attacker has been snapped up by Norweigen side Sarpsborg following his departure from Brentford.

He has penned a contract until 2025.

Jaakko Oksanen, Kuopion Palloseura

Oksanen, 21, played three times for the Bees’ first-team and also gained experience out on loan at AFC Wimbledon and Greenock Morton.

The former Manchester United man remains a free agent after spending the past couple of years in London.

Luton Town have taken a look at him on trial, as per Luton Today.
