Brentford look likely to lose highly rated youngster Juan Pablo Gonzalez Velasco with a host of Championship and Premier League sides monitoring the 17-year-old.

The Colombian born starlet, who has a Spanish passport through his mother, has interested Chelsea, Southampton and Burnley, while Fulham are also monitoring the situation.

The Bees are willing to let the striker leave the club as they are undergoing a restructuring of their academy system.

And his agent, Joel Macadar, has revealed the player is weighing up his options with several clubs keen on securing his services.

“A number of clubs have spoken to me about Juan Pablo as Brentford are willing to let him move on due to the restructuring going at the club,” Macadar told TeamTalk.

“Several Premier League and Championship clubs have made enquiries about Juan Pablo and we are now asessing our options.

“Juan Pablo is currently away with the Colombian Under-20 national team and we will make a decision on his future when he returns.”
