According to reports, Brentford are reportedly interested in signing Crystal Palace defender, Joachim Andersen, despite Newcastle showing heavy interest.
The Bees are set to bokster their squad this summer, after an impressive campaign in the Premier League and the Palace defender has caught the attention of Thomas Frank.
Making 72 appearances for the Eagles, Andersen has become a fan favourite at Selhurst Park and was key in Roy Hodgson’s second spell at the club.
Palace are set to lose some key players this summer, as the likes of Wilfried Zaha and Michael Olise have been linked with Europe’s top sides.
Losing Andersen would leave a huge hole in the heat of Palace’s defence and Brentford will need to pay £35m to land the Norwegians signature.
Brentford asked about Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen, too. They valued Denmark international Andersen at around £20million but were told by Palace he was not available and that if he was, any sale would be far more expensive.

The Bees are not the only side that are keen on the Crystal Palace stalwart and will face competition from Premier League high-flyers, Newcastle United.
Eddie Howe’s opening season has stunned the footballing world as Champions League football has returned to St James’ Parl for the first time in two decades.
Boasting an impressive record against the top six sides in England, Howe has established himself as one of the best managers in the country and could be a huge factor in future signings.
Key signings have been key for the Toon since Howe’s appointment, with the likes of Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier and Sven Botman playing a huge part in the club’s success.
The Magpies have already agreed a deal to sign Sandro Tonali and are also in the running to to the Crystal Palace defender.
In a move that could cost the Magpies up to £35m, as the 27-year-old still has three-years remaining at Selhurst Park.
