Journalist Mick Brown has disclosed that Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, a winger, is a target for Arsenal in the upcoming transfer window. The Cameroonian prospect has reportedly been highlighted by the Gunners as a transfer target.
Mbeumo’s Outstanding Premier League Performance This season, Mbeumo has started the Premier League with a bang, playing on the right wing for Brentford and putting on a number of outstanding performances. The wide player from Cameroon has six goals this season in eight Premier League games for his current team.
Mbeumo is under contract at the English club will expire in the summer of 2026 which could open the door for Arsenal to sign him on the cheap next summer.

What Will Mbeumo Add To Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta’s Side?
Mbeumo is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few promising runs with it out in the wide areas. He can strike the ball with venom and precision from long range and can even set up some inviting chances for his teammates up top.
The Cameroon international is primarily a right-sided wide player but can also operate as a centre-forward if told to do so. He already knows the Premier League well and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the North London club if Mikel Arteta can find a way to bring him on board next year.
We can expect Mbeumo to add more goals and creativity to Arsenal‘s attack. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Emirates Stadium in the coming years. At 25, Mbeumo has his peak years ahead of him which makes him a worthy target for the Gunners to pursue this winter or at the end of this campaign.
