Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, and they have submitted a club record offer for the player.
According to a report from the Mirror, they have submitted an offer of around £65 million plus £5 million in bonuses for the Cameroon International. The report claims that the offer submitted by Tottenham is £10 million more than what Manchester United have offered for the player.
Manchester United were leading the race to sign the 25-year-old, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops now.
Tottenham’s club record signing is Dominic Solanke, who cost them £55 million plus bonuses. Mbeumo’s arrival could eclipse that outlay.
Advantage for Spurs?
Tottenham have appointed Thomas Frank as their new manager, and there is no doubt that he could play a key role in getting the deal done. He managed to get the best out of the player at Brentford, and the 25-year-old could be tempted to reunite with his former manager.
In addition to that, Brentford will obviously want to sell to the highest bidder. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can win the race for his signature. Tottenham are prepared to offer the player premium wages as well.
Bryan Mbeumo would be a superb addition
Mbeumo had 29 goal contributions last season, and he is one of the best attackers in the league. He has been labelled as “unplayable”. If Tottenham manage to get the deal done, it would be a major coup for them. They need more quality and depth in the final third, and the 25-year-old will add goals, creativity, and unpredictability to the side.
Tottenham have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, and that could be a huge advantage for them in the transfer race. Manchester United will not be able to offer the player European football next season. Both players are going through a period of rebuilding, but Tottenham are a more attractive destination on paper.
