According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Chelsea are willing to pay €60 million to sign versatile Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo.
Mbeumo has 26 goal contributions this season, and he could prove to be a quality signing for Chelsea. However, Chelsea might have to tweak their attacking system to accommodate him in the starting lineup if he joins the club. The Brentford attacker prefers to play on the right flank, and it will be interesting to see if Enzo Maresca decides to shift Cole Palmer into a more central role.
Mbeumo will add goals and creativity to the Chelsea attack. He has established himself as one of the best attacking players in the league, and there is no doubt that he could be an excellent acquisition for Chelsea.
They are pushing for Champions League qualification, and they will want to win major trophies next year. They need quality players at their disposal, and signing the Brentford star would be a major coup for them.
Meanwhile, they will face competition from Manchester United as well. According to a report from the Telegraph, Manchester United are looking to bring in quality attackers this summer, and they have identified Mbeumo as a target. They are expected to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves as well.
It has been a disappointing season for Manchester United, and they will look to bounce back strongly. They need to address the weaknesses in their squad during the summer transfer window.
They have looked toothless in the attack this season, and players like Joshua Zirkzee have been underwhelming. Manchester United need to bring in alternatives, and the likes of Mbeumo could prove to be the ideal acquisition.
The opportunity to play for clubs like Manchester United or Chelsea will be quite attractive for the Brentford star. He will look to compete at a high level and fight for major trophies. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
