WHAT MBEUMO SAID
Speaking to Sky Sports, Mbeumo said: “He’s done so much for me. He literally trusted me from the start [at Brentford] and he developed the team so well. He developed me as a human and a player so much as well. I can only wish him all the best and I’m sure he’s going to do well.
“He knows everything; he’s really smart and knows what he wants to bring the team, how he wants them to play. He’s been fantastic for Brentford.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Frank showed incredible faith in Bryan Mbeumo since he was signed by Brentford in 2019. The France-born Cameroorian international was one of the best attackers in the Premier League last season, scoring 20 goals and registering seven assists as the Bees finished 10th on the table. His devastating impact in the final third has caught the attention of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, with the latter launching a massive £70 million (€59m/$68m) to snatch him from under the noses of the Red Devils.
