Brentford have identified Joey Veerman as a potential summer signing, with new manager Keith Andrews keen on strengthening his midfield options ahead of the new Premier League season.

According to Eindhovens Dagblad, the Premier League club have Veerman on their shortlist and are considering whether to formalise their interest through the player’s representatives. However, PSV have made it clear — the midfielder is not on the market unless Brentford meet their valuation.

PSV Want €30m — But Won’t Be Forced to Sell

Veerman, 26, is under contract with PSV until 2028 and remains one of the side’s most influential players. Despite raising nearly €80 million in player sales already this summer, the Dutch giants aren’t actively looking to sell more assets.

“PSV value Joey Veerman at €30 million, and although that’s relatively easy for Brentford to match, the club are not obliged to sell,” reports *Eindhovens Dagblad*. — August 2025

The article notes that PSV’s stance is firm — even if Brentford meet the asking price, a deal would still need to make sense sportingly.

Brentford Yet to Make Formal Offer

While there is interest from west London, Veerman’s camp have reportedly not received a concrete proposal from Brentford as of now. The situation is described as being in an early exploratory phase.

With the Premier League season fast approaching, Brentford may need to move quickly if they want to land the Netherlands international before rivals step in.

Analyst Verdict: Logical Fit for Keith Andrews’ Brentford

With Christian Nørgaard and Mathias Jensen’s futures uncertain, Joey Veerman would bring composure, passing range, and top-level European experience to Brentford’s midfield.

However, given PSV’s stance, the Bees will need to be decisive — and prepared to pay full value — if they want to give Keith Andrews the reinforcement he’s reportedly pushing for.

Key Insights

Should Brentford pay the €30m and back Keith Andrews — or wait for better value?
