Brentford midfielder, Frank Onyeka, will make his Premier League debut in tonight’s opening match against Arsenal.
The Nigerian moved to Brentford Community Stadium on a five-year deal from FC Midtjylland in July.
Onyeka joins Vitaly Janelt in strengthening the Bees’ midfield.
Prior to Friday’s match, Onyeka delivered an impressive performance for the 2021 Championship play-offs winners in a pre-season friendly outing against Manchester United which ended in a 2-2 draw on July 28 at Old Trafford.
