EPL: Brentford sign German international in club record deal
June 14, 2023
Brentford have paid a club record of £22m to German outfit Freiburg for striker Kevin Schade, whose loan move has now been made permanent.
Schade, who has won two caps for Germany, played 19 times for Brentford in the second half of the past season. He failed to score a single goal, but such was his impact that Thomas Frank’s side offered him a five-year deal.
Commenting on the signing of the player Brentford director of football Phil Giles said: “To have him with us now until 2028 is fantastic for the club.
“When Kevin joined us on loan in January, we agreed with Freiburg that the move would become permanent this summer if certain conditions were met, which included Brentford remaining a Premier League team for next season.
“We have all been pleased with Kevin’s contribution so far, both on the pitch and his professionalism off it.”
With prolific England Ivan Tony suspended come the start of the season for betting-related offenses, Schade will be expected to play a big role for The Bees.
