As reported by Alex Crook at talkSPORT, Brentford would be willing to part with Bryan Mbeumo for around £50m with Newcastle United believed to be one of the clubs interested.
After two windows hampered by financial restrictions, Newcastle really need a big transfer window with the arrival of a couple of first-team players to really help us push on this season.
Top of the list of priorities is a new right winger and it’s understood that Mbeumo could be our number one target after showing some great form with the Bees under Thomas Frank.
He’s been strongly linked in recent weeks – Mark Douglas at the i and The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards have both confirmed our interest – and this has been backed up by talkSPORT, who add that Liverpool and Arsenal are also keen on the Cameroon international.
The 25-year-old already has eight goals in nine Premier League games this season and would add a much-needed goal threat on the right side of our attack which has been severely lacking these last few years barring Miguel Almiron’s purple patch.
At £50m it should be a fairly affordable deal for Newcastle given our lack of spending lately and it’s one that is sure to be welcomed by the fan base who have grown frustrated over the off the field struggles this summer.
