Everton striker Conor McAleny has agreed to join League One side Brentford on loan for the first six months of the new season.
Bees manager Uwe Rosler is delighted that McAleny has moved to Brentford and admits that he has had his eye on the player for many months.
"We have been working on getting Conor to Griffin Park for eight or nine months," he told the club's official website. "We have a good relationship with Everton and have had good feedback on Conor both as a player and a person.
"Conor is a goalscorer. He is a player who can operate deeper if required and score from there and he can play in a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2.
"He is a very versatile forward and I think he will add goals to our squad. He is a good finisher and doesn't need many chances to score."
McAleny made three appearances while on loan at Scunthorpe United last season.
