Brentford make contact to sign Rennes’ Arnaud Kalimuendo | OneFootball

Brentford have made contact to sign Stade Rennais’ Arnaud Kalimuendo (23), according to a report from Fabrizio Romano.

France U21 international Kalimuendo is expected to leave Rennes this summer. “In this sector (up front), we are anticipating Kalimuendo’s eventual departure,” said Loïc Désiré, Les Rennais’ new sporting director at the start of the transfer window.

There has been plenty of interest in the former Paris Saint-Germain academy product, however, clubs are yet to make concrete advances. That could now change as the start of the season approaches. The number of suitors is increasing.

RMC Sport reported an interest from Nottingham Forest at the end of July, whilst Tottenham Hotspur have been frequently linked with a move. Two clubs have now made contact with Rennes, according to Romano.

Villarreal, who lost Thierno Barry to Everton earlier in the summer, and Brentford have both made contact with the Breton club to enquire about the feasibility of the move.
