Brentford to extend Jensen and Henry deals

Brentford intend to trigger the options in Mathias Jensen and Rico Henry's contracts this summer - extending their stays until 2027.

The club are also not ruling out discussing new longer-term contracts with the pair as they keep their situations under review.

Central-midfielder Jensen, who turned 30 earlier this year, has continued to be an important part of the team this season, scoring five goals and setting up three in 38 appearances. 

Left-back Henry, 28, has been out with a hamstring problem but is nearing a return, and was in a rich vein of form up until he sustained the knock in February. 

Head coach Keith Andrews recently said: "They're certainly players that I want to keep. So, we'll let that be discussed in the coming weeks and hopefully that will work out the way that we all want." 

Brentford are heading into the summer in a strong position, with Josh Dasilva the only other player out of contract, but he also has an option to extend. 

The rest of the squad still have at least two years left on their deals, including the likes of Kevin Schade, who have had interest from other clubs in the recent past. 

The club are assessing the market to strengthen their squad again this summer, which may also carry the added attraction of European competition next season.
