Exclusive: 🚨🚨🚨Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle ‘Face Battle’ for £40m Star👇

Liverpool are poised to join Arsenal and Newcastle United in facing a significant battle to sign Bryan Mbeumo as Brentford are preparing to play hardball and will hold out for a club-record fee after he has gained admiring glances from Anfield, the Emirates Stadium and St James’ Park, GMS sources have revealed.

The winger has made an eye-catching start to the campaign thanks to finding the back of the net five times in six Premier League outings, resulting in Reds boss Arne Slot, Gunners chief Mikel Arteta and Magpies head coach Eddie Howe pinpointing him as a potential recruit in 2025.

Brentford were forced to contend with losing their talismanic forward during the final hours of the summer transfer window as Ivan Toney completed a £40million switch to Saudi Arabian big-spenders Al-Ahli, and the west Londoners are in danger of Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle looking to raid them within the next 12 months.

Premier League Trio Consider Mbeumo Move

Slot, Arteta and Howe tracking Brentford man’s performances

Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle are continuing to track Mbeumo’s performances ahead of potentially heading to the negotiating table at the end of the season, according to GMS sources, but Brentford are not prepared to make it easy for admirers to lure him away from his current surroundings.

The Cameroon international has entered the final two years of his £45,000-per-week contract at the Gtech Community Stadium, resulting in the Bees not being in a particularly strong position ahead of possible offers, but they have ruled out selling him on the cheap to a domestic rival.

GMS sources have been informed that Brentford are desperate to keep Mbeumo out of Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle’s clutches, resulting in them seeking more than the £40million they received for Toney as they look to make him the most expensive departure in their history if he embarks on a fresh challenge.
