Premier League Clubs Set Their Sights on Brentford Forward Bryan Mbeumo
June 2, 2025
Newcastle United, Manchester United and Arsenal are all reportedly interested in Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo. The 25-year-old had an impressive 2024-25 campaign, scoring 20 goals and making seven assists. While Manchester United is thought to be the most likely destination, Newcastle and Arsenal remain in the mix.
The race is on among Premier League clubs Newcastle United, Manchester United and Arsenal for the signature of Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo. The 25-year-old's star has been on the rise following a successful 2024-25 season in which he netted 20 goals and provided seven assists. His performance has not gone unnoticed, with The Sun reporting that all three clubs are keen to secure his services. Initially, Manchester United appeared to be leading the pack. However, Newcastle's manager Eddie Howe and Arsenal's head coach Mikel Arteta are closely monitoring the situation. The Gunners are also pursuing Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, potentially paving the way for Newcastle to become Manchester United's main competition for Mbeumo. However, both clubs are wrestling with the need to comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules, making player departures crucial to secure funds. In other transfer news, Chelsea are reported to be targeting a return for central defender Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace, while Liverpool are still trying to negotiate a deal for Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz. However, Leverkusen have reportedly rejected two substantial bids for the 22-year-old player.
