Brentford boss Mark Warburton confident of Andre Gray stay

Brentford boss Mark Warburton reveals that he expects striker Andre Gray to stay at the club despite reported interest from elsewhere.

Brentford boss Mark Warburton has revealed that he expects Andre Gray to stay at the club amid speculation over the striker's future.

The 23-year-old scored his ninth goal of the season on Saturday as the Bees earned a 3-1 win at home to Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.

While Gray's form has seen him linked with a move away from Brentford, Warburton believes that the youngster is keen to remain at Griffin Park.

"He loves scoring goals and that is a big part of the character of a centre-forward," he told BBC Sport. "He genuinely enjoys it. He was a handful, he gave their two centre-halves a torrid afternoon.

"Everyone has a price. The owner will decide the price. That's life, and we would replace him. But right now this is a good place. I think anyone would think long and hard before leaving here."

Saturday's victory has kept Brentford in fifth place in the Championship table.
