Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League, with several top clubs circling as the summer transfer window approaches. After a standout season, the 24-year-old winger is attracting attention from Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham, all of whom are preparing for major squad overhauls.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank has not shied away from the reality of his club’s status in the food chain, admitting that Brentford are “a selling club:, but he was quick to caution that Mbeumo won’t come cheap. With 18 goals and six assists this season, the Cameroonian is valued at £60–65 million, and Brentford hold a strong hand with the player under contract until 2026, plus an option for an additional year, according to Caught Offside.
Manchester United are desperate to rejuvenate their forward line after another underwhelming campaign. The expected exits of Jadon Sancho, Antony, and potentially Marcus Rashford will leave significant gaps in United’s wing options.
Mbeumo’s pace, sharp dribbling, and eye for goal fit the profile of what Ruben Amorim wants, a dynamic, Premier League-proven winger who can contribute immediately. The Red Devils are said to be preparing an official bid in the coming weeks. However, they face competition from Arsenal and Liverpool, two clubs that are far ahead of the curve in terms of offering players a shot at glory.
At Arsenal, Bukayo Saka has carried the right flank almost single-handedly for two seasons. Mikel Arteta is looking to ease that burden by bringing in a player who can rotate without a drop in quality. Mbeumo’s tactical intelligence and ability to press from the front would make him a valuable fit at the Emirates, especially in their high-intensity style of play.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are eyeing Mbeumo as a long-term heir or complement to Mohamed Salah, whose future remains uncertain amid interest from Saudi Arabia. With Federico Chiesa struggling to find consistent minutes and Luis Diaz often overworked, Mbeumo could offer balance, versatility, and end product from either flank under incoming manager Arne Slot.
Bryan Mbeumo’s rise has been steady, and his numbers this season speak volumes. He is not just a flashy winger but also a proven Premier League performer entering his prime. Of all the suitors, Manchester United arguably need him the most, but clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal may offer more stable environments and Champions League football.
For Brentford, holding out for top value is justified. Whether he ends up at Old Trafford, Anfield, or the Emirates, Mbeumo is ready for the next big step, and whichever club signs him could be getting one of the smartest pieces of business this summer.
