Brentford have completed a deal to sign Bologna’s Scottish full-back Aaron Hickey in an initial £14m transfer.
The Scotland U21 full-back has signed a long-term contract with the west London club and the deal represents the first piece of transfer business for Thomas Frank this summer.
The £14m fee will rise to £18m if performance-related add-ons are met during Hickey’s time at Brentford, who are preparing for their second successive season of top-flight football.

The Bees have made Hull a significant offer and the player wants to move to the Premier League club.
Brentford manager Frank revealed this week he is “optimistic” over Christian Eriksen’s chances of committing to the club, despite the Danish midfielder’s agreement with Manchester United.
