Bryan Mbeumo is unfazed by the constant rumours linking him with a move away from Brentford, seeing them as a normal part of a footballer’s journey. The forward has grown used to the noise, acknowledging that dealing with such speculation is something he has to accept.
Mbeumo had to shoulder much of Brentford’s attacking responsibility following Ivan Toney’s move to the Saudi Pro League last summer. The 25-year-old delivered in style, finishing the Premier League season with 20 goals and seven assists, establishing himself as a central figure in Brentford’s attack.
His impressive contributions caught the attention of Manchester United and Tottenham, both reportedly interested in bolstering their attacking options. While a switch to Old Trafford may be his preferred destination, Tottenham could also be in the race, especially with his long-time manager Thomas Frank now at the helm there.
Reflecting on the past campaign, Mbeumo called it his best yet in the Premier League. Although Brentford narrowly missed out on a European spot, he remains proud of the team’s performances and overall growth. He believes the team played exciting football and was unlucky to miss out on continental competition.
Mbeumo credits Thomas Frank, who managed him for six years, for much of his development. He speaks highly of the coach, emphasizing how Frank helped shape him both on and off the pitch. The Cameroonian forward believes Frank’s understanding of the game and ability to build team chemistry played a massive role in Brentford’s success.
With Frank now leading Tottenham, Mbeumo hopes fans give the manager time to settle into his new environment. He acknowledges the pressure that comes with a bigger stage but remains confident that Frank will adapt and succeed, highlighting his ability to connect with players and bring out the best in his squad.
As the transfer window unfolds, Mbeumo stays grounded, focusing on his growth while navigating the interest from top Premier League sides.
