Brentford are reportedly on the verge of signing Myles Peart-Harris.

The Athletic reported on Monday that Thomas Frank’s Bees are about to land the talented Chelsea academy star.

Peart-Harris has apparently said goodbye to his teammates already, ahead of his move to the Brentford Community Stadium.

The attacking midfielder is one of three academy stars reportedly closing in on a departure from their club.

Peart-Harris was the joint-top scorer in the Chelsea development squad last season with 11 goals in 23 appearances.

The 6ft 2in ace, whose contract expires next season, also grabbed six assists in 2020-21.

According to Transfermarkt, Peart-Harris has also played as a right-winger, a central midfielder, a defensive midfielder and even as a forward.

Brentford are preparing for their first ever Premier League campaign and their first top-flight campaign since 1947.
