Newcastle keen to sign Mbeumo in January but will have to sell big-name player

Bryan Mbeumo is having a spectacular season at Brentford, scoring eight goals in 11 competitive games this campaign, which also reinforces the great work that Thomas Frank continues to do with the Bees.

The Cameroonian winger already has several suitors for the upcoming January transfer window, but Newcastle have been one of the most interested clubs to emerge in the last few hours.

According to the Daily Mail, the Magpies could make a move for Brentford's prized forward Mbeumo but will have to face financial restrictions to do so, thus having to sell one of their big-name players in the next transfer window.

Newcastle are 12th in the Premier League table and are looking to give their squad a boost with a good forward line in the coming months.
