Versatile Ghoddos A Valuable Asset for Brentford

It has been a funny few months for Ghoddos. The Iranian international thought his three-year spell at Brentford was over after it was announced in May that he would be leaving the club on a free transfer.

By the end of August, however, the winger was back in west London having signed a one-year contract at the Gtech Community Stadium. He even won the October goal of the month competition for his strike against Burnley.

What Ghoddos may not have expected is becoming a starting full-back. An attack-minded player, he has slotted in on either side of the defense in the past four Premier League matches and will be hoping for a fifth straight start against Villa.

Versatility is important in the modern game and Ghoddos has proven himself a useful asset to Thomas Frank. That could earn him another season at Brentford, theguardian.com reported.
