Mbeumo has become a hot commodity this summer after a breakout 2024/25 season. His 20 Premier League goals placed him behind only Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland, and Alexander Isak in the scoring charts.
Since joining Brentford from Troyes in 2019, Mbeumo has been a consistent performer. However, his impressive displays last season truly elevated his profile, attracting interest from several top clubs.
