Arsenal transfer news is hotting up as the Gunners are reportedly leading the charge to sign Brentford's star striker Bryan Mbeumo this summer, according to CaughtOffside. The Cameroonian international sensation has become Mikel Arteta's top target, especially with him having one year remaining on his Gtech Community Stadium contract.
Brentford will consider offers of £50 million, with Mbeumo now more than likely to depart after six incredible years at the club.
Arsenal Lead the Mbeumo Pursuit
The North London team is still interested in Mbeumo, as per the recent Arsenal today transfer news. The Gunners might, however, have to deal with other Premier League giants such as Liverpool, Manchester United, and Newcastle United.
Newcastle can be priced out of a transfer, but Arsenal today transfer news suggests Mikel Arteta is eager to sign the 25-year-old dubbed the 'mini-Mohamed Salah', with his explosive pace and clinical finishing.
Mbeumo's Record-Breaking Season
Since replacing Ivan Toney in the side, Mbeumo has delivered a career-best campaign for Brentford. His 2024/25 record speaks for itself:
- 33 appearances
- 18 goals
- 6 assists
- 17 goal-creating actions
- 2,964 minutes played
The latest Arsenal today transfer news highlights Mbeumo's status as a league top-scoring player—second only to Salah, Isak, and Haaland. Having joined from French side Troyes in 2019, he has made 237 appearances for the Bees, demonstrating himself to be a consistent and dynamic player.
Arsenal Also Eyeing Nico Williams
While Mbeumo is the top target, Arsenal transfer news today reveals that Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams is also on the Gunners' radar. Fabrizio Romano says Arsenal have had long-term interest in the Euro 2024 winner, and Mikel Arteta wants to add more attacking width ahead of the new season.
