The likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are in for the 27-year-old.

Meanwhile, Sargent has improved at the Championship club and may be ready to make the step back up to the top flight.

The 24-year-old star has previous Prem experience with Norwich and can lead the line like Toney.

Sargent has scored 11 goals in 17 matches this season.

He netted 13 times last term and just two the year before while he was in the Premier League.

Norwich currently sit seventh in the Championship and will likely keep hold of their star player should they earn promotion.

Sargent has been capped 23 times by the United States.

Any new Brentford striker will have to compete for a starting spot with Igor Thiago.

The Brazilian will arrive in West London in the summer from Club Brugge.
