Aaron Hickey is Man United target as two more Premier League clubs line up £50m move for Scotland star

Scotland star Aaron Hickey is wanted by three of England’s ‘Big Five’ sides.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are all ready to bid up to £50million for the Brentford’s star. German giants Bayern Munich have also been keeping a close eye on the 21-year-old full-back. Hickey has made good progress under Bees boss Thomas Frank after being lured from Serie A side Bologna where he spent two seasons following his move from Hearts as a teenager.

Able to play on either flank, Hickey already has 11 caps and is seen by Scotland boss Steve Clarke as a key part of the his squad. Meanwhile, Ivan Toney is also ready to leave Brentford in January after returning from his FA betting ban. And the smart money is on him signing for Premier League London rivals Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham for £60m.

The 27-year-old hitman only returned to team training last Monday after an eight-month suspension. Bees scouts are working on replacements if Hickey and Toney are lured away.
