Trotta won’t rule out a permanent switch to Bees

Marcello Trotta is open to the idea of staying at Brentford next season.

The striker is on loan from Fulham and Uwe Rosler will consider whether to keep him at Griffin Park after Sunday’s League One play-off final against Yeovil at Wembley.

Martin Jol has challenged the 20-year-old, who has found opportunities limited at Fulham, to prove he deserves to be part of his first-team plans.

Nine goals in 28 games for Brentford have not gone unnoticed by Jol but he believes the Italian needs to improve other areas of his game.

Trotta has two years left on his contract but wants to help Brentford into the Championship before deciding his future.

He missed an injury-time penalty against Doncaster that would have seen the Bees promoted on the final day of the season and is determined to make amends. “These six months have been unbelievable,” he said. “I will think about Wembley and we will see [about my future] after that. Both clubs will speak.

“You feel very disappointed [after the Doncaster game] and you want to give something back to the team and the fans.

“The supporters have been great, even after the Doncaster game they have been great in supporting the team and me.
