Arsenal join Liverpool and Newcastle in race for Mbeumo

Arsenal have reportedly joined Liverpool and Newcastle in the hunt for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, who has been in scintillating form this season. The Gunners, willing to strengthen their attacking options, are now seriously considering a move for the 24-year-old to bolster their squad for a potential Premier League title push.

Meanwhile, the Reds and the Magpies have been scouting the Cameroon international for months. The No.19 has impressed under Thomas Frank at Brentford. His eight goals and one assist in the current campaign have made him one of the standout players in the league, drawing attention from several top clubs.

Arsenal’s late entry into the race has reportedly complicated matters, as the North London club's allure of Champions League football and their historic reputation could sway the winger’s decision. Brentford, however, are said to value their star player highly, with reports suggesting any deal could exceed £50 million.

Mbeumo’s versatility makes him an ideal fit for all three clubs, but competition for his transfer is expected to heat up as the January transfer window approaches. In the meantime, Brentford will hope to retain their talisman as they continue their fight to climb the Premier League table.
