£40m signing Diouf a registration doubt for Leeds, says Brentford's Keith Andrews | OneFootball

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Brentford's £40m recruit El Hadji Malick Diouf is a doubt for Sunday’s 2pm visit to Leeds United at Elland Road, with Keith Andrews unsure the 21-year-old will be registered in time. Players had to be registered by 12 noon on Friday to be eligible.

The club announced the Senegal international left back’s arrival from West Ham on Friday morning.

Brentford have begun the season strongly, beating Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 on the opening weekend and Birmingham City 6-1 in the Carabao Cup.

Andrews said Diouf fits Brentford’s approach, adds to a strong area of the pitch and has significant scope to develop.

There are no new injuries in the squad, with Sepp van den Berg, groin, and Antoni Milambo, knee, the only absentees.
