Aaron Hickey has been linked with a move away from Brentford in recent weeks, with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United keen.
A report from Football Insider claims that Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are keeping tabs on Aaron Hicket. But he wants to stay at Brentford despite links with other clubs. The Scottish defender is highly rated in the Premier League, and European giants Bayern Munich are keeping tabs on him as well.
Hickey has proven himself to be a quality player for Brentford, and he has started all six Premier League games for them this season. The report from Football Insider claims that the player is happy to continue at Brentford and is not keen on a move elsewhere.
It is evident that the 21-year-old is enjoying his time with the Bees and wants to play regularly and continue his development with them. The Scottish defender has the potential to develop into a top-class player and regular football in the Premier League will accelerate his growth.
It is no surprise that clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are keen on signing him. Arsenal need to add more depth to their full-back positions, and the 21-year-old is versatile enough to operate on the right as well as the left.
Meanwhile, Liverpool need to add more depth to the side as well. They do not have a quality backup option for Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Hickey is capable of operating on the right side of the defence. He could be an understudy to Andrew Robertson in the long term as well.
As far as Manchester United are concerned, the likes of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have suffered injury blows, and the Red Devils could certainly use more quality in the area. But Sergio Reguilon has been impressive in his early days at Manchester United. However, Hickey can be an option for the right-back berth, where the Red Devils need more quality.
It will be interesting to see if the three Premier League clubs decide to try their luck in the coming months and come forward with a concrete proposal to sign the 21-year-old. Despite the fact that he is keen on staying at Brentford, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have the financial resources to tempt most players. So, it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
