Brentford start the new Premier League campaign with a home game against fellow London team Arsenal on Friday, August 13 in what would be their firstencounter in the top flight for 74 years (since 1947). Brentford secured a place in the Premier League this season after beating Welsh club Swansea City in the Championship playoff final in May. Brentford joined Championship title winners Norwich City and runners-up Watford as the three newly promoted Premier League sides as reward for beating the Swans.

New Brentford recruit Peart-Harris is an England u-19 international who joined the club from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee. He has signed a four-year deal with the option of another year.

It has been a busy week for manager Thomas Frank and Brentford officials with three players arriving at the club this week including 18-year-old Peart-Harris. Nigerian midfielder Frank Onyeka joined Brentford from FC Midtjylland of Denmark in an £8.5m transfer earlier this week before the London club broke its transfer record by signing Norwegian international KristofferAjer from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic on Wednesday. Brentford paid £13.5m for Ajer. The newly promoted top flight team has signed three players this summer for the first team ahead of its first campaign in the Premier League.

Peart-Harris departed Chelsea this summer with 12 months left on his contract at Stamford Bridge. He’s the latest academy star to leave the club after Lewis Bate joined Leeds United in a £1.5m deal. Fellow Chelsea academy star Valentino Livramento could also leave Stamford Bridge to join Brighton and Hove Albion.
