Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo is attracting big attention this summer. Top Premier League clubs Newcastle, Manchester United, and Arsenal are all interested in signing him. The winger’s strong performances have made him one of the hottest names in the transfer market.
Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle All Interested
Mbeumo Had a Great Season
Brentford’s forward Bryan Mbeumo is becoming one of the hottest names in the summer transfer window. The 25-year-old had an amazing season, scoring 20 goals and providing 7 assists for Brentford in the 2024-25 campaign. Because of his performance, big Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are all trying to sign him.
According to reports from The Sun, Mbeumo was first linked with a move to Manchester United. But now, Newcastle United has also shown strong interest. Their manager, Eddie Howe, is said to be keeping a close eye on the situation. At the same time, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is looking for new forwards and may also consider Mbeumo.
Arsenal May Focus on Another Player
Even though Arsenal is interested in Mbeumo, they are also targeting another forward—Nico Williams from Athletic Club. If Arsenal signs Nico Williams, they might not try to get Mbeumo. That could leave Newcastle and Manchester United as the two main clubs fighting to sign him.
However, both teams have financial rules they need to follow. The Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules mean they may need to sell some players before they can buy Mbeumo. That could affect who wins the race to sign the Brentford star.
Chelsea Looks to Bring Back Guehi
Defender Guehi May Return to His Old Club
Chelsea is trying to bring back central defender Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. Guehi used to play in Chelsea’s youth team but moved to Palace, where he recently won the FA Cup. Now, at 24 years old, he may return to Stamford Bridge.
Newcastle United has also been interested in Guehi for a long time, but Guehi reportedly wants to stay in London. That gives Chelsea a better chance to sign him. They are also thinking about another young defender—Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton. But Manchester City is leading the race for Branthwaite. City has offered to include John Stones in the deal to convince Everton.
Liverpool Chasing Wirtz
Leverkusen Rejects Big Offers
Florian Wirtz, a 22-year-old star from Bayer Leverkusen, wants to join Liverpool. But Leverkusen is not happy with the offers they’ve received so far. Liverpool has made two big bids—€100 million and €130 million—but Leverkusen wants something closer to €150 million.
One way Liverpool could complete the deal is by including a player in the transfer. Young midfielder Harvey Elliott could be part of the deal. However, Liverpool’s backup goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, will not be involved. He is expected to join Brentford soon.
Chelsea Makes More Transfer Moves
Liam Delap Set to Join Chelsea
Chelsea has also made progress in signing Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap. The 22-year-old has agreed to a six-year contract with the Blues. Ipswich will receive £30 million once his medical tests are complete.
In addition, Chelsea wants to add another striker—Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. According to reports, Chelsea is leading the race for the French forward ahead of Liverpool.
Barcelona Targets Arsenal’s Partey
Free Transfer Could Happen
Barcelona wants to sign Arsenal’s midfielder Thomas Partey for free. The Ghanaian player is 31 years old and his contract with Arsenal ends in June. Even though Arsenal would like to keep him, they have not agreed on a new deal yet.
Barcelona’s new coach, Hansi Flick, is said to be a big fan of Partey. He sees him as a smart and affordable option for the midfield.
