Igor Thiago, the 24-year-old Brazilian forward, has signed a new long-term contract with Brentford, valid until the summer of 2031. The agreement also includes an option for an additional year, securing the future of the player who has been making headlines in the Premier League. We are delighted to confirm that top scorer Igor Thiago has put pen to paper on a new five-and-a-half year contract, with the club option of a further year ✍️. This season, Igor Thiago has been a central figure for the Bees, scoring a total of 18 goals in 27 matches across all competitions. His remarkable performance earned him the Premier League Player of the Month award in November, making him the first Brentford player to receive such an honor. Coach Keith Andrews praised the forward, emphasizing the importance of the renewal. "It’s brilliant that Igor Thiago has committed his long-term future to the club," he stated. "The bond he has with his teammates, the staff, and the fans, as well as what the club means to him and what he means to us, is quite evident for everyone to see." Keith Andrews also highlighted the player's development: "He has been a crucial player for us, so this is a contract he fully deserves. I love working with him and have enjoyed watching his evolution as a player. The way he plays is a very important part of how we play and what our season has been like so far." Igor Thiago's scoring ability has been impressive, with 17 goals scored in 26 matches in the Premier League. The Brazilian has become the fastest player to reach 10 goals in a single season for the club, surpassing Ivan Toney's record from the 2022/23 season. Only Erling Haaland from Manchester City has more goals than Igor Thiago in the Premier League. The Brentford forward has already made history this season by becoming the Brazilian with the most goals in a single edition of the English league. Notable achievements include braces in home victories against Manchester United, Newcastle, Burnley, and Sunderland, as well as a memorable hat trick in the 4-2 win over Everton. It is worth noting that Igor Thiago's journey at Brentford has not always been easy. Signed in February 2024 from Club Brugge for a record fee for the club, the player suffered a meniscus injury during pre-season that kept him off the pitch for the first two months of his debut season. After making his debut in November 2024, a joint infection sidelined him again, returning only for the last four matches of the season.
