Brentford complete signing of Milambo from Feyenoord

Brentford have completed the signing of midfielder Antoni Milambo from Feyenoord.

The 20-year-old has signed a five-year contract with an option for a further year.

“Antoni has played a lot of football in the last 12 months and really shot to prominence,” new Bees head coach Keith Andrews said.

“He’s had experience in the Eredivisie, Champions League and most recently the Under-21 Euros with the Netherlands.”

Milambo made 60 appearances for Feyenoord, who finished third in the Eredivisie last season and made it to the knockout stages of the Champions League. They lost to eventual runners-up Inter Milan.

“I love the way that Antoni takes the ball and drives – he has the ability to go past players and he’s a goal threat,” Andrews added. “He will complement the midfielders we have in the building.

“Now it’s just a case of getting him used to the intensity and rhythm of the Premier League and our own intensity levels. I am looking forward to working with him.”
