Bryan Mbeumo: Brentford boss Thomas Frank issues transfer warning over Arsenal and Newcastle target | OneFootball

The winger is expected to attract transfer interest as scoring 20 league goals

Target: Bryan Mbeumo

Mbeumo enjoyed a stunning season for the Bees, scoring 20 Premier League goals from the wing, along with a further seven assists, and is expected to be the subject of transfer interest this summer.

Arsenal are known admirers, as Mikel Arteta looks for new attacking options, while Newcastle are expected to test Brentford's resolve as Eddie Howe aims to reduce the burden on star striker Alexander Isak.

Frank expects bids for Mbeumo, but says an exit will only come with a high price.

"It is clear that if he is to be sold, it must be for a nice, nice amount," Frank said of Mbeumo to Viaplay. "It is a lot. Mucho. Really a lot.

"Then it is clear that it is impossible to replace him one for one. It cannot be done. There is a reason why he costs x number of million pounds, and we do not have x number of million pounds to buy for.

"I would say that I would be surprised if a lot of big clubs don’t look at him. I would be surprised with what he has to offer.

“How many wingers score 20 goals for a mid-table club? And then with seven assists plus his work ethic. And his character. All these things mean that he has a lot, so he is a good player."
