Brentford has a concrete interest in Aral Şimşir, a 23-year-old Turkish-Danish winger for Midtjylland. Leeds United and Crystal Palace are also monitoring his progress. Scouts from all three Premier League clubs were at the City Ground last week to watch Şimşir during his club's Europa League match against Nottingham Forest. Brentford's position is described as notable due to historical links with Midtjylland. The two clubs previously shared an ownership structure, and this could become a factor if Brentford decides to make its interest official. Şimşir joined the club in July 2021, has a contract until December 2029, and has scored 8 goals with 13 assists in 21 Superliga appearances this season. According to Transfermarkt, his current valuation is €6.00m.
