Brentford are one of several Premier League clubs that have conducted detailed checks on Swansea City's 24-year-old centre-forward Žan Vipotnik, who is the Championship's current top scorer with 22 goals. A number of top-flight teams are tracking the Slovenian international, and some scouts have called him the "new Viktor Gyokeres". Alongside Brentford, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, Leeds, and West Ham have also made checks on the player. It is reported that Brighton have scouted him extensively, while Sporting CP are also monitoring his situation. Vipotnik, who has 24 caps and 5 goals for Slovenia, joined Swansea on a free transfer in August 2024 and is under contract until 2030. His current market value is listed as €15.00m by Transfermarkt. In April 2026, reports suggested a potential sale would require a fee between £15m and £20m, while Swansea's asking price had been repeatedly set at £15m earlier in the year.
