Brentford have completed the signing of Moroccan striker Farid El Alagui on a two-year deal.

The 27-year-old scored 28 goals in all competitions for Falkirk last season as well as winning the Scottish Challenge Cup. "We have been working on getting Farid to Brentford for almost three months and we have faced tough competition from clubs in the Scottish Premier League, in England and abroad," manager Uwe Rosler told the club's official website. "He has a good goalscoring record and has shown consistency over the past two years. "I see him as a late developer, he is 27 now and there is more to come from him. "We expect goals from him; he can add something to our squad. I'm very happy to complete it."
