Arsenal Must Challenge United for Bryan Mbeumo
Arsenal head into another summer of rebuilding, having fallen just short in the title race for the third year in a row. While they’ve made significant progress—especially with signings like Declan Rice and a strong defense led by Saliba, Gabriel, and Raya—their attack still relies too heavily on Bukayo Saka. A proven goal threat could be the missing piece to push them over the line.
One option is Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, who is reportedly on Manchester United’s radar after they secured a deal for Wolves’ forward Matheus Cunha. According to Fabrizio Romano, United value Mbeumo highly and are preparing a £50 million bid.
Mbeumo has filled in brilliantly during Ivan Toney’s absence and played a crucial role for Brentford. His 2024/25 season was impressive:
- 38 games
- 20 goals
- 7 assists
- 3,414 minutes played
With Ruben Amorim now managing United, the club is targeting players who can immediately contribute—and Mbeumo fits that profile.
Why Arsenal Should Act Quickly
The Emirates currently offers a more appealing project than Old Trafford. Arsenal could benefit greatly by hijacking United’s move for Mbeumo. His versatility and Premier League experience make him a smart investment—especially considering his ability to play across the frontline.
He would:
- Provide support for Saka, reducing his workload.
- Add creativity and finishing to a sometimes wasteful attack.
- Offer reliable depth and reduce injury risks for key players like Saka.
Over his career, Mbeumo has played most frequently as a right-winger but has also featured as a second striker, central forward, and even on the left.
With proven ability and less risk than many overseas targets, Mbeumo could be a high-reward signing for Arsenal at a fair price.
