Brentford have had an improved bid accepted for Southend United striker Charlie MacDonald, paving the way for his transfer to Griffin Park.

The 27-year-old joined the Blues a year ago but had been unable to command a regular starting place.

He scored only five goals in 34 appearances for Steve Tilson's side in League One.

MacDonald turned down a move to Morecambe earlier this month but will now discuss terms with Brentford.
