Kristoffer Ajer says that newly promoted Brentford want to make an attacking statement to the league.

The Bees are experiencing a mixed patch of results in recent weeks, but are still in a strong position of 12thin the Premier League table.

Norwegian defender Ajer, who arrived at Brentford from Celtic in the summer, is a fan of his manager Thomas Frank wanting to play in an attack-minded manner.

He told The Independent: "Yes, it's brave, and it's something we want to be. We want to play exciting football, we want to be able to press forward and create chances.

"In the Premier League, if you're not pressing with everyone, if you're standing back there with too many defenders, teams will play through you. We know we can be offensive, but that we also have to do it in a controlled manner. That's been the focus since pre-season."
