What's happened to Igor Thiago?

Igor Thiago scored 22 Premier League goals in 2025/26 but has only scored once in seven league games in 2026/27; should Brentford be worried? watch Hull vs Brentford live on Sky Sports Golf on Sunday; kick-off 2pm

Igor Thiago's first season as a Premier League player, in 2024/25, was heavily disrupted by knee injuries - and he more than made up for lost time the following season.

The striker started all bar one of Brentford's league games and scored 22 goals - the most by a Brazilian in a single season in Premier League history.

So far in 2026/27, though, Thiago has failed to hit the same heights. Seven games in, he has scored one goal and provided one assist.
