The race for Brentford’s in-form forward Bryan Mbeumo is heating up as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle United line up bids ahead of the January transfer window, reports suggest.
The 25-year-old Cameroonian international is enjoying a stellar Premier League season, showcasing his versatility across Brentford’s attack. His ability to excel as both a winger and a No.9 has caught the attention of several top-flight clubs, with Brentford reportedly valuing him at €40 million.
Arsenal are particularly keen, as Mikel Arteta looks to ease the Gunners’ attacking struggles. With Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard battling inconsistency, Mbeumo’s creativity could reduce Arsenal’s over-reliance on Bukayo Saka.
Newcastle, on the other hand, view Mbeumo as a solution to their right-wing woes. Eddie Howe’s side is eager to add firepower as they aim to solidify their top-four ambitions.
Manchester United, battling attacking issues of their own, remain firmly in the mix, setting the stage for a fierce transfer battle this winter.
With Mbeumo’s stock soaring, the Cameroonian could be one of the most sought-after stars in January.
