A goalless draw with Millwall on Saturday afternoon leaves Brentford's automatic promotion hopes hanging by a thread.

The Bees now sit eight points off the automatic promotion places, with only one spot now up for grabs following Norwich City's confirmed return to the Premier League.

Swansea, Watford and Brentford are all fighting for the second automatic promotion spot, and with the Bees still boasting a game in hand, they are also still yet to play Watford for a second time.

But Brentford's most likely route to the Premier League looks to be via the play-offs as things stand, and they will be looking to right their wrongs after falling short in the final last term.

Just like last year, Brentford's key players will attract plenty of interest this summer, with Ivan Toney the most notable.

But just like last year, the Bees will replace them and continue to escape the clutches of the Championship under Thomas Frank.

Here, we take a look at eight players who are, or should be on Brentford's transfer radar for this summer...

After poaching one Peterborough star last summer, they should look to go in for another one this summer.

Dembele is undoubtedly one of the standout players in League One this season, scoring 10 goals and registering 12 assists for Posh.

The attacker, who thrives in a wider role but can play through the middle as well, would flourish in the Bees' free-flowing attacking line.

Sergi Canos and Bryan Mbeumo are two players always likely to attract interest given their talent and potential, and Dembele would certainly be seen as a ready-made replacement.

Or, why not go for another one of Peterborough's main men, if not their main man?

Clarke-Harris has been outstanding since joining Posh and replacing Toney following his move to West London last summer.

The 26-year-old has scored 27 goals in League One this season, and is on course to surpass Toney's record from the previous campaign.

Toney is bound to attract interest from the Premier League regardless of promotion or not, and their chances of keeping him appear slim.

Clarke-Harris is a hungry player on the up, and he would be a top replacement for Toney.

Another exciting option could be Hull's Wilks.

Wilks has enjoyed a superb season in League One with the division's leaders Hull City, playing an influential role in their bid for promotion.

The attacker has scored 18 goals and chipped in with four assists for the Tigers, and possesses real goal threat in the final third.

He can also play out wide as well as through the middle, meaning that he could be a perfect fit in Frank's front three.

Hull are likely to go up, but are still likely to cash in on their main talisman.

Benrahma hasn't exactly set the world alight since moving to West Ham on loan with an obligation to buy in the summer.

The Algerian has made 24 appearances in the Premier League for the Hammers, but of those, only 11 have been starts.

West Ham may see it best to send him out on loan and get him some valuable minutes under his belt, and he could come back as a much sharper, better player.

It would be some coup for the Bees, of course, but it's a move that is likely to hinge on whether they win promotion or not.

Rico Henry is attracting interest from Southampton ahead of the summer and it remains to be seen if the Bees manage to keep hold of his services beyond this season.

Should the full-back depart, then one of Barnsley's stars of this season could be a shrewd addition for them.

Styles has been one of the best wing-backs in the league, showing plenty of attacking endeavour for the Tykes.

The 21-year-old has scored four goals and registered three assists in 37 league appearances for Barnsley this season.

He has plenty of potential and could be a great signing for both the long-term and short-term.

On the topic of left-backs, Huddersfield's Toffolo could be a good option.

Huddersfield's hopes of surviving the drop were boosted on Saturday with a big 2-0 away win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Toffolo returned to the side after a lengthy spell on the sidelines through injury, and he has been one of the best left-backs in the division whenever he's been fit this term.

He could be a potential replacement for Henry should he depart for the Premier League this summer.

He could be one to consider.

The Sun on Sunday have recently credited Brentford with an interest in Twine. QPR, Barnsley and Luton are also said to be keen.

Twine has been a shining light for a struggling Swindon Town side this season, having spent the first half of the season in League Two with Newport County.

The attacking midfielder has scored 12 goals in all competitions this season, chipping in with nine assists in a total of 44 appearances.

The next step for him is the Championship after impressing in League One and Two, and Brentford's record of nurturing lower league players should be comforting for him.

Football Insider claim that Brentford are among those keen on signing Kayode.

Middlesbrough, Cardiff City, Bournemouth are also believed to be interested in signing the Rotherham United striker, who is entering the final year of his contract at the New York Stadium this summer.

Kayode has scored six goals in 29 League Two appearances for Carlisle United on loan with the Cumbrian side this term.

He is one who is said to be being tracked, and at 20, he has plenty of potential and lots of resale value for the long-term.
