One of Brentford's former transfer targets this summer could come back to bite them on the backside on Saturday.

The Bees were believed to be interested in landing striker Callum Wilson from Coventry City, who instead opted to join the Cherries.

The 22 year old, who netted 23 goals in 55 league games over two years at Coventry, was brought to the south coast for a fee believed to be in the region of £3million.

And he has proved an instant hit at Dean Court, bagging two goals on his debut as Bournemouth opened their season with a 4-0 win at Huddersfield last Saturday.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said: “It's always important for a striker to start well at a new club and he will improve and develop from here. This will give him a big lift.”

French fancy: Yann Kermorgant

Another who could pose the Bees a threat is another who netted at Huddersfield last Saturday, Yann Kermorgant.

The French forward has always proved to be a handful whenever playing against Brentford for former club Charlton, from whom he joined the Cherries in January.

The 32 year old, who also had a spell with Leicester after arriving from France five years ago, bagged 29 goals in 89 league games for the Addicks, and has already struck 10 in 17 for Bournemouth.

Wing wonder: Matt Ritchie

Another name familiar to Brentford fans will be winger Matt Ritchie, who tore the Bees apart when on loan to Dagenham & Redbridge in their 3-1 over Andy Scott's side in April 2009.

Like Kermorgant, Ritchie is another who always seems to put in a good display against the Bees, whether for Dagenham, Swindon or Bournemouth, who he joined in January 2013.

The 24 year old, who has a keen eye for goal, came through the ranks at Portsmouth and has also worn the colours of Notts County.
