Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham are monitoring Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo.
Clubs are cash-strapped this January transfer window but are still eyeing the Cameroon international, who has been in sensational form with 13 and four assists in all competitions for Brentford this season.
This is according to RMC Sport, which suggest that the winter window is still wide open for Mbeumo.
Arsenal are on the hunt for a striker following Gabriel Jesus’ long-term injury, and Spurs have their own injury struggles.
The outlet also say the Bees won’t be sold for less than £50m, but anticipate other clubs could “go on the offensive before the end of the transfer window”.
Mbeumo was signed for £5.5m by Brentford in the summer of 2019. A France Under-21 international, Mbeumo has scored 63 goals in 225 games in all competitions for the West London club.
Antony’s possible departure from Old Trafford
United are currently in talks with a number of clubs, including La Liga side Real Betis a January loan deal for Antony.
The Brazilian joined the Old Trafford club from Ajax in 2022 when he reunited with former manager Erik ten Hag in a deal worth £86m.
But he has only contributed 17 goals in two-and-a-half seasons at United, becoming a permanent fixture on the bench.
Greek side Olympiacos are believed to be interested in the young forward, but now Sky Sports have revealed that United are in talks with Spanish outfit Betis, as well as another unnamed club over a possible transfer.
According to Sky, “Manchester United are in ongoing talks with a number of clubs, including Real Betis, over a loan move for Antony.”
“United will consider bids for the 24-year-old, with the deal most likely to be a loan. Betis are eyeing a winger having just sold Assane Diao to Como.”
Antony’s contract with United runs until 2027. United can also extend that by an additional 12 months, but as things stand it is unlikely they will.
