Arsenal and Newcastle United are reportedly among the clubs interested in signing Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo as the January transfer window approaches, according to sources cited by CaughtOffside.
The 25-year-old Cameroonian international has been in outstanding form in the Premier League this season, catching the eye of several top clubs. Sources close to the situation indicate that both Arsenal and Newcastle are eager to secure his services.
Other clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Aston Villa, are also believed to be monitoring his progress. However, Brentford is expected to demand around £40 million for their star player.
Given Mbeumo’s impressive performances, it seems increasingly unlikely that he will stay at Brentford for much longer. His manager, Thomas Frank, has even expressed the view that Mbeumo is bound for a top-tier team, further emphasizing the forward’s rising profile.
If Mbeumo does leave Brentford, he will have several attractive options to consider. The big question is which club will ultimately secure his signature.
At Arsenal, Mbeumo could provide an immediate impact. Manager Mikel Arteta has struggled with consistency in attack, as players like Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard have been unreliable. This has placed extra creative pressure on Bukayo Saka. While Kai Havertz has shown potential as a central forward, doubts persist about his long-term suitability for the role.
With the transfer window looming, Mbeumo’s future is one of the most intriguing stories to follow.
