Transfer gossip: Bees star reacts to reports of interest from Newcastle and Brighton

Brentford midfielder Alan Judge has played down speculation over his future at Griffin Park.

Reports on Thursday suggested Championship title-chasers Newcastle and Brighton were both keen on signing the Bees midfielder.

But, writing on his Twitter account, Judge insisted that any talk of a move had not come from him, saying: “Haven’t spoke to anybody regarding my future. So don’t believe everything u read.”

Judge, who is recovering from a broken leg sustained last April, is out of contract in the summer and there were suggestions the Bees may choose to cash in in January.

Meanwhile, the Bees have been linked with Wigan Athletic midfielder Max Power.

The Daily Mail suggests Brentford have had an offer for ex-Tranmere man Power rejected and says they are also monitoring Grimsby Town striker Omar Bogle.
