Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa keen on Hull City ace

Brentford are among the clubs reportedly eyeing a move for Hull City ace Jacob Greaves. The 22-year-old has been a key player for the Tigers over recent seasons.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, the Bees are ‘interested’ in the left-sided defender. Fellow Premier League sides Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are also believed to be keen.

Brentford raided the MKM Stadium last summer for winger Keane Lewis-Potter and could go back to East Yorkshire to land Greaves. The youngster has been playing left-back over recent times for Liam Rosenior’s side.

He has been on the books of his hometown club for his whole career to date and broke into their first-team in 2020 after an impressive loan spell away at Cheltenham Town. The Hull-born man helped his side win the League One title in his first year playing senior football for them and has since adapted well to the step up to the second tier.

Brentford could see him as someone who would bolster their defensive department in the long-term. Greaves is under contract with the Tigers until the summer of 2026 after penning a new deal last year. However, they could face a battle to keep him before then with top flight teams linked.
