The Brazilian forward Igor Thiago, 24 years old, has signed a new long-term contract with Brentford. The new deal extends his stay at the English club until 2031, with an option for a further one-year extension.
The renewal comes amid a high-performance season for the player in the Premier League. After a first year marked by physical problems — including a meniscus injury and a joint infection that limited his debut — Igor Thiago has recovered and currently has 17 goals in 26 league matches.

The Brazilian is currently the second-highest scorer in the Premier League, behind only Erling Haaland (Manchester City).
Thiago surpassed Ivan Toney’s record, becoming the Brentford player to reach 10 goals the fastest in a single league season. In November, he became the first player in Brentford’s history to win the Premier League Player of the Month award.
Coach Keith Andrews highlighted the importance of the renewal, citing the player’s tactical evolution and his relevance to the team’s style of play after overcoming his initial injuries.
