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 signings are recruited over long-term performances, background and personality traits. So no, Brentford won't be signing 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?' They have been so open and that influenced me."

Frank did not come from a traditional football background into coaching, which Lampard feels has helped the Dane.

"There is many a pathway to get into management," he added. "You should never disrespect anyone for whatever their pathway is as long as they put the work in.

"When you see someone like Thomas and how diligent he is and how well he speaks, you understand he has put thousands of hours into viewing, observing, working out his way, his approach to people.

"You don't have to be a football person to understand how people work."

Brentford striker Ivan Toney says his "main focus" is on doing well for England and not speculation about his future.

The 28-year-old is in Germany but is yet to feature for Gareth Southgate's side at Euro 2024.

There has been a lot of speculation around the forward's future, with a number of top-flight clubs said to be interested. When Bees boss Thomas Frank was asked about Toney while working as a pundit for the BBC, he said the club have "prepared" for the striker to leave by signing Igor Thiago from Club Bruges.

When asked about his manager's comments, Toney said: "I didn't hear him say that. I can't predict the future and if I could I wouldn't be sat here in front of you guys. What will be will be and my main focus is playing well and doing well for my country."

Toney was linked with a move away from Brentford in January and he added: "I've been through it [transfer speculation] before. There's been lots of talk of me going here, there and everywhere before in my career and I just don't let outside noise get to me.

"I'm here with England now, and the main focus is doing well for England and whatever happens, happens. I can't control it.

"From 18 when I was supposed to go to Wolves and I was all excited and getting involved in all of it, then it didn't happen, it hurt me.

"So since then I thought 'why am I trying to take control of things when I don't need that pressure?' I just let people who take care of those things to do it and I focus on the pitch."

The free-kick scored by Brentford's Mikkel Damsgaard in the semi-final of Euro 2020 at Wembley is the only goal that Denmark have scored against England at a major tournament.

Thursday's Euro 2024 group match will be the fourth encounter between the nations at a European Championship or World Cup. Denmark failed to win any of the previous three meetings.

The fixtures for the new Premier League season are out and we asked you for your predictions on where Brentford will be after 10 games.

Here is a selection of your comments:

Jake: Hard to predict, but if we take points off the teams we'd be expected to, we should be somewhere in mid-table.

Ken: With a fully fit squad, Rico, Hickey and Mee back, keeping hold of Mbeumo and Wissa, we will be comfortably top half.

Charlie: Looking at the first 10 matches, I feel we can realistically take 23 points and be in the top half of the table. However, as Thomas Frank always says, one game at a time. Let's hope we just perform to our best.

Paul: If the signings are made for a push to the top 10, then we will be in mid-table after 10 games.
