Argentina and Fiorentina winger Nico Gonzalez awarded new contract after Premier League summer interest

• Rejected Premier League move in summer
• Appeared for Argentina in September
• Brentford offered to break transfer record for forward

WHAT HAPPENED? Brentford were among the clubs eager to secure Gonzalez's services last summer, offering over €40 million (£36m/$43m) for the player, who worked his way into the Argentinian national team picture in September. He has scored two and added an assist in four Serie A games so far this season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The forward rejected Premier League interest in August, and after a steady start to the Serie A campaign, has penned a long term deal to stay at Fiorentina, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
