Brentford Confirm The Signing Of Freiburg Winger Kevin Schade Until 2028

Brentford have confirmed the signing of Freiburg winger Kevin Schade on Monday.

The 21-year-old was initially on loan with the Premier League side but has now decided to stick around long-term and signed a five-year deal.

Brentford confirmed the move is a record deal for the club but did not disclose the fee.

“We agreed with Freiburg that the move would become permanent this summer if certain conditions were met, which included Brentford remaining a Premier League team for next season,” said director of football Phil Giles.

“We have all been pleased with Kevin’s contribution so far, both on the pitch and his professionalism off it, so to have him with us now until 2028 is fantastic for the club.

“We all hope both Kevin and Brentford can make further progress from here and look forward to the challenge.”

The German U-21 international was a notable young talent for manager Thomas Frank over the last six months.

Schade made 18 Premier League appearances and registered an assist in the west London derby victory over Fulham.
