Arsenal are reportedly keeping close tabs on Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo as they consider strengthening their attacking options ahead of the upcoming season. With the Gunners narrowly missing out on the Premier League title for a third consecutive year, discussions around refreshing key areas of the squad have intensified.
The Gunners are understood to be planning a minor overhaul rather than a full-scale rebuild, aiming to add quality and depth in positions that could elevate their title push. One of those positions is in the final third, where they seek a player who can contribute goals consistently and bring renewed energy to the forward line.
Mbeumo’s Performances Catching Widespread Attention
Mbeumo’s form for Brentford last season has put him firmly on the radar of several top-flight clubs. The attacker registered 20 goals and seven assists in the league, a highly impressive return for a player not operating within one of the league’s traditional top sides. His performances reflect a blend of technical ability, composure, and efficiency in front of goal.
The French-Cameroonian has developed into one of the most confident and reliable forwards in English football. His versatility across the frontline, combined with his strong work ethic, makes him an attractive prospect for clubs seeking to strengthen their attack with proven Premier League quality.
Arsenal Monitoring the Situation Among Other Clubs
Fabrizio Romano, as cited by Give Me Sport, confirmed interest from multiple Premier League clubs and stated:
“There are several clubs interested, Newcastle, Arsenal, many clubs. So let me say that Man United, Newcastle, Arsenal are all clubs monitoring the player. Let’s see what’s going to happen there for Bryan Mbeumo, but for sure, an interesting situation to follow.”
While Arsenal are reportedly interested, they will face strong competition for Mbeumo’s signature. The forward is unlikely to be available for a modest fee, and any potential deal could require a substantial offer. Nevertheless, his proven ability in the Premier League may justify the investment if the Gunners are serious about bolstering their attacking options.

Newcastle bound .
I would go for mbeumo rather than nico Williams. low wage and knows the league.
And while Arsenal watch, another team will snap him up. 🤦♂️
What exactly does keeping tabs on a player mean, you either want him and make a bid or you don’t. I presume they have been scouting him for the past season so must know whether they want him or not.
I’m sure they know whether they want him or not.
Why let other clubs know your plans?
Could this be a clever smoke screen by Berta ?
Surely there is nothing to gain telling every lay and her cat
The more I consider it, the more I feel Mbeumo could be a good signing. He’s a good right winger and probably too good to be a backup but I’m sure we can find other ways of using him.
I’m leaning towards Mbeumo because history shows that players bought within the EPL tend to be hits while most of our misses tend to be players from other leagues.He is also a proven scorer.Even if we don’t get Mbeumo, I hope we get one attacker from the Prem,just to spread our risks.
Recent history also suggests that Arsenal prefers signing EPL players, which is a good thing, that I hope continues.
