Brentford: Mamadou Sangaré scores his first goal

15.08.26 FT Club Friendlies

Brentford

Eintracht Frankfurt

Mamadou Sangaré has opened his account with Brentford. Against Eintracht Frankfurt, the Malian midfielder found the net with a thunderous shot from the edge of the 18-yard box—a goal that’s quickly becoming his trademark.

Promising beginnings

Already credited with an assist against Rennes on August 8 in the 4-1 victory, Sangaré continues to impress, building on his strong start. The Bees cruised to a commanding 7-0 win in a match they thoroughly dominated. Having arrived on August 1 from RC Lens, Sangaré became Brentford’s most expensive signing in club history—a record deal for the London side, who clearly believe in his profile.

A solid season in France

At 24, the Malian international already boasts 16 caps. He’s coming off a stellar campaign with Lens, racking up 33 appearances, lifting the French Cup, and finishing as runner-up in Ligue 1. With his work rate, ability to win the ball high up the pitch, set the tempo, and unleash long-range strikes, Sangaré brings fresh options to Brentford’s midfield.

After two preseason matches—marked by an assist and now a goal—he looks ready for his Premier League debut. The Bees are kicking off their campaign with a new signing who’s already proving he can make an impact at both ends of the pitch.
