Bryan Mbeumo, a winger for Brentford, might be targeted by Liverpool, who are prepared to shuffle their offensive lineup this summer.
Along with Newcastle United, another Premier League team, the Reds have reportedly indicated “interest” in signing the forward, according to a report by the French news source L’Equipe.
In the next months, as the transfer window opens, Arne Slot hopes to add his own unique touch to the team he has taken over, and he may consider adding the Cameroon international to the mix.
West Ham and England star Jarrod Bowen has long been admired by Liverpool, but according to The Mirror, he wants to stay with the Hammers for the foreseeable future and is bound to the London Stadium until 2030. Mbeumo might therefore be the perfect replacement for the Merseyside team.
He is a left-footed player who plays off the right, has experience in the Premier League, and would give Mohamed Salah some serious competition.
24-year-old Mbeumo recently stated, “Yeah, I would like to play in the biggest competitions, at the best clubs, but I have spent five years at Brentford, at a club that has allowed me to grow and pass a milestone.” Seeing that some major clubs are interested in me is tempting. We’ll see.
After seeing him play in France, Brentford signed him back in 2019. Before moving to England, he was a young player who rose through the ranks at Troyes, who are currently owned by Manchester City’s City Group. He scored 12 goals in 46 games for them.
Since then, he has made precisely 200 appearances for the Bees in all competitions, and he has scored 50 goals, nine of which came during the previous campaign. After the London team defeated Swansea City in the play-off final at Wembley in 2021, he assisted in the club’s relegation from the Championship, and he has since acclimated to life in the top flight with ease.
Mbeumo signed a new contract in 2022 that would last until 2026 at the Gtech Community Stadium. Thomas Frank, his manager at the time, expressed his satisfaction with Bryan’s decision to extend his contract with them. He has been a crucial player for us since he joined in 2019. He had a wonderful debut season in the Championship and just as successful a follow-up year following season, as he developed other elements of his game. His accomplishments in the Premier League have been even more remarkable.
“As everyone knows, Bryan has hit the woodwork seven times this season. He has given us a lot, but the margins have gone against him. He has consistently posed a challenge to our rivals.
“I am also thrilled that Bryan’s potential can be fully realised.” This is just the beginning of what he is capable of producing. He has an amazing career ahead of him.”
