Brentford uninterested in winter sale of Bryan Mbeumo amid emerging links

Brentford attacker Bryan Mbeumo has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club in recent weeks.

According to a report by Football Insider, Brentford are unwilling to sell Bryan Mbeumo in the January transfer window. The development will come as a blow for his suitors like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa.

All three clubs have been linked with a move for the 25-year-old attacker, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to move on to other targets now. Mbeumo would have been a quality acquisition for Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Liverpool. The Cameroon international has established himself as a reliable performer in the Premier League, and he is versatile enough to slot into multiple roles.

Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa keen on Mbeumo

Arsenal need a dynamic forward who can slot anywhere across the front three and will chip in with goals and creativity. Mbeumo would have been a quality addition for them. Similarly, Liverpool need more quality and depth in the wide areas, especially if Mohamed Salah moves on in the near future.

As far as Aston Villa are concerned, they need more depth in the final third. The Villans have been overly dependent on Ollie Watkins, and the England international striker will need more support in the attack. Aston Villa are competing in the UEFA Champions League, and a deeper squad with more options.

The 25-year-old Brentford attacker could be tempted to join the West Midlands club. However, it seems that they might have to wait until the summer transfer window to sign him. It is understandable why Brentford do not want to sell one of their best players midway through the season.

The Premier League club have already sanctioned the departure of Ivan Toney in the summer and they will not want to weaken the squad any further. However, the attacker is entering the peak years of his career and he will want to play for a club capable of winning trophies.

He will feel that this is the right time for him to take the next step in his development. It will be interesting to see if the 25-year-old decides to push for a move away from the Premier League club when the transfer window reopens in January.
