    Thomas Frank has slapped a \u2018not for sale\u2019 sign on Brentford defender Ethan Pinnock. <\/p>\n

    Only two weeks ago, following Pinnock\u2019s powerful performance and goal in the 2-0 win at Chelsea, the Bees boss described the Jamaican as good enough to grace any of the Premier League elite. <\/p>\n

    He even expressed surprise that none of the English giants had targeted the west Londoners\u2019 increasingly-impressive pillar at the back. Pinnock, 30, has another opportunity this afternoon to put Frank\u2019s glowing verdict to the test when he faces Liverpool\u2019s fearsome attack.<\/p>\n

    But, rest assured, no matter how well he fares in trying to keeping Mo Salah and Co quiet at Anfield, the ex-Forest Green and Barnsley man will be going nowhere should the big boys come calling in January. Frank made that clear ahead of the Merseyside clash when he declared: \u201cNo, no, no. He\u2019s not for sale.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWhen I said I don\u2019t understand why they\u2019re not looking at him, it was just a compliment. I\u2019m very impressed with Ethan. He just continues to perform at such a high level.<\/p>\n

    How highly do you rate Ethan Pinnock? Let us know in the comments section below<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

    \u201cI think he had a good first season in the Premier League, then last season he took it a level up. Or he definitely added layers and has kept that high level of consistency in his performances. <\/p>\n

    \u201cOf course, I\u2019m biased because I work with him everyday and look through his games with such detail, but the more I see of him and then other teams\u2019 centre-backs, I more I think he\u2019s definitely underrated .<\/p>\n

    \u201cEspecially, as a defensive centre-back. He has the ability to defend in every aspect of a football match. He\u2019s incredible.\u201d Just how much better Pinnock can get – given his age – remains to be seen. However, Frank is convinced he has yet to reach his peak.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    And while he stopped short of suggesting he could do something similar to Chelsea defensive legend, Thiago Silva, still cutting it in the Premier League at 39, he cited the brilliant evergreen Brazilian to justify his point. <\/p>\n

    He went on: \u201cLook at Thiago. The biggest respect for him and his career, because he\u2019s one of his generations best centre- back, but I think there\u2019s more room for development for Ethan, no doubt about that. He\u2019s now 30, so can add a bit more in the next couple of years and then keep it at that level for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
