Brentford head coach: "Yarmolyuk has great potential. He is deservedly transferred to the first team".

England Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has commented on his club's signing of Ukrainian striker Yegor Yarmolyuk on a new five-year contract.

"The signing of a long-term contract with Yegor is great news! I am happy for him and glad that I got to work with him. He is a very talented footballer with great potential.

Last season Yarmolyuk was very unlucky because of an injury, otherwise, I think he would have played more games. But now he is fully fit and ready for the start of pre-season. Yarmolyuk is deservedly transferred to the first team.

Our whole coaching staff is excited about what he can do. And we really believe that he will continue to progress. If that's the case, Yegor has a great future ahead of him", said Frank in a commentary to Brentford's official website.
