Hickey to undergo Brentford medical on Tuesday

Aaron Hickey is set to undergo a medical in the UK on Tuesday ahead of his proposed transfer to Brentford.

A fee in the region of £14m plus add-ons is understood to have been agreed between the clubs.

Sky Sports News exclusively revealed Brentford's interest in Hickey in January - and they attempted to sign him then.

The 20-year-old joined the Serie A club from Hearts - for a reported fee of £1.5m in 2020 and has made 48 appearances for Bologna.

He made his senior Scotland debut in a 1-1 draw with Poland in March.

The west London club are also close to a deal with Hull for Keane Lewis-Potter, as Sky Sports News also exclusively revealed on Friday. Brentford have made Hull a significant offer and the player wants to join the Bees.

They were rewarded for doing so, too, finishing in 13th, 11 points clear of the relegation zone.

Thomas Frank has already alluded to the fact that they will not be making widespread changes to the squad this summer, but there are some areas that will likely need addressing.

Firstly, in the goalkeeping department, a back-up to David Raya should be a target as the Spanish international missed the best part of four months with a knee injury, with Huesca loanee Alvaro Fernandez failing to capture the imagination during his time as deputy. Jonas Lossl played three games on loan from FC Midtjylland, but the pair have since returned to their parent clubs.
