Bryan Mbeumo, a talented footballer, has caught the eye of several Premier League clubs with his impressive performances. However, his current team, Brentford, is not willing to let go of him in the upcoming January transfer window despite reported interest from top clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool.
Mbeumo has been a key player for Brentford since their promotion to the Premier League and has continued to excel this season after the departure of Ivan Toney. The Cameroonian international has already scored ten goals and provided two assists in just 18 league matches, making him one of the top scorers in the league. His current contract with Brentford expires in 2026, but the club has the option to extend it for another year.
Despite this, Brentford faces a tough battle to keep Mbeumo at the club as other teams are vying for his signature. Rumors suggest that Arsenal, Liverpool, and Newcastle are all interested in the 25-year-old, with Brentford valuing him at £50 million. However, Brentford's manager, Thomas Frank, has made it clear that they have no intention of selling their star player in January.
When asked about the potential departure of Mbeumo, Frank confidently stated that he loves the player, and the feeling is mutual. He also mentioned that Mbeumo is having a fantastic season, so there is no chance of him leaving in January. The Brentford boss even joked that he would wish the interested clubs good luck in trying to sign Mbeumo.
Arsenal's plans to sign Mbeumo may have been heightened after their star player, Bukayo Saka, sustained a long-term injury earlier this month. With Saka facing months on the sidelines, the Gunners are looking for potential replacements, and Mbeumo seems to be on their radar. They have also been linked with a loan move for Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani, who has fallen out of favor with his current club.
Meanwhile, Liverpool may only consider signing Mbeumo if they fail to extend Mohamed Salah's contract. The Egyptian forward broke more records in their game against West Ham on Sunday, but he admitted that the club is still far from agreeing on a new deal. Mbeumo could be a potential replacement for Salah, should he decide to leave Anfield.
In conclusion, Mbeumo's future at Brentford may be uncertain with several Premier League clubs interested in him. However, Brentford remains firm in their stance of not selling him in the upcoming transfer window. Only time will tell if Mbeumo will continue to shine for Brentford or if he will be playing for a different team in the near future.
