    We asked for your views on which Euros player would be a good fit for Brentford.

    Here are a few of your suggestions:

    Mark: Sign nobody from a tournament, it's an expensive showcase and Brentford's recruitment model doesn't work that way. Any gs are recruited over long-term performances, background and personality traits. So no, Brentford won't be g anyone based on a handful of matches...

    Cliff: Ferdi Kadioglu, the Turkish left-back, would be ideal as wing-back competition for Rico Henry.

    Chris: Romania's Dennis Man fits the bill perfectly. Young, fast and full of potential.

    Bizzy Bee: We don't sign players in the shop window, we go for lesser-known names with potential sell-on value.

    Anonymous: Sesko - forward thinking, fast-paced forward, creates space and chances.

    Former Chelsea and Everton boss Frank Lampard says he has been "influenced" by watching managers like Brentford's Thomas Frank.

    Lampard, 46, has been out of work since his second spell as Chelsea boss - on an interim basis - ended in 2023.

    Frank has impressed during his time in charge of Brentford, securing promotion to the Premier League in 2021 and then establishing them as a top-flight side.

    "I love watching what other managers are doing, the different approaches and because of my connections I've been able to go and watch certain managers work," Lampard told BBC Radio 5 Live.

    "Thomas invited me to Brentford last season and I went and watched how he worked. There are lots of little things that can impress you or little nuggets that you take and think 'oh yeah, I see that'. I think coaching should be about sharing information, you should never be closing and keeping everything to yourself.

    "There aren't any managers who I have ever reached out to who haven't said 'come down, no problem'. When you go down to Thomas, or Pep [Guardiola], different managers, all of them to a man have been like 'come and have a meeting, come and watch training, what do you think about that">
