Michael Kayode, The Full Back With The Long Throw
Kayode has turned his long throw into a genuine set piece weapon, launching the ball into the penalty area with enough distance and accuracy that opponents have to defend it almost like a corner kick. Away from that specific skill he defends with real physicality, comfortable in one on one duels and willing to get tight to an opponent rather than backing off and inviting a cross in.
He came through two respected academies in Italy before moving to English football relatively early in his career, adjusting to a different tempo and physicality that takes most young defenders time to master. Whether that long throw becomes a genuine attacking outlet Brentford use regularly, rather than an occasional novelty, depends on how much midfield support arrives to make the most of it.

Michael Kayode: The Territory-Winner
A right-back who turns wide areas into pressure, and throw-ins into chances.
Kayode plays like he wants Brentford to live in the opponent’s half. He overlaps early, drives forward with speed, and forces defenders to track him deep, which creates space for the winger inside. His game is built on intensity, the kind that makes opponents feel like they’re defending for long spells because he keeps arriving in the same dangerous zones.
Then there’s the edge he brings from throw-ins. Brentford have long treated set pieces like a second sport, and Kayode’s long throws fit that identity perfectly, launching the ball into areas where chaos becomes opportunity. He’s not just defending the flank, he’s giving Brentford a direct way to turn small moments into pressure.
