Brentford Striker Hits New Goal Milestone

Brentford striker Igor Thiago has etched his name in Premier League history, achieving a new scoring record for Brazilian players in a single season. The 24-year-old's recent performance saw him reach 16 league goals, a feat previously unmatched by any Brazilian in England's top flight.

Thiago's exceptional form has placed him ahead of notable Brazilian talents such as Roberto Firmino and Gabriel Martinelli, who had previously held the record with 15 goals. This achievement comes in his first season as Brentford's primary striker following the departures of key forwards.

The prolific striker, who has yet to represent Brazil internationally, is now making a strong case for inclusion in the national squad for the upcoming World Cup. His scoring prowess could see him feature in the tournament held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
