Brentford has brought back Neal Maupay on a season-long loan deal from Everton, which includes an option to make the transfer permanent.
Neal Maupay's move to Everton occurred last summer from Brighton, but he faced a challenging spell, managing to score only one goal in 31 appearances.
The 27-year-old French striker is returning to the west London club where he previously played from 2017 to 2019. During his earlier stint with Brentford, he made quite an impact by netting 41 goals in 95 matches.
On Maupay's move to Brentford, manager Thomas Frank said: “I’m very happy to have Neal back at the club. He had two great years when he was here last time.
“He was our top goalscorer in the Championship, scored 25 goals, and really helped us progress.
“He's been on a football journey and now he’s back.
“Neal will strengthen the squad, the front positions. As a player, he's a very good link-up player, a pressing player. As a nine, he'll find good positions in the box and I think he's a good finisher.
“I have no doubt that Neal will come back to us, come into a club and a culture he knows, and will thrive and find a very high level.”
He's home ❤🤍@nealmaupay_ is a Bee again 🥰 pic.twitter.com/eA2rwR3jdd
