Bryan Mbeumo transfer hint as Aston Villa, Liverpool and Newcastle United circle

Aston Villa and several other Premier League clubs have recently been linked with signing Mbeumo following the attacker’s superb start to the new season.

The Cameroon international has scored six goals in the opening eight league fixtures, playing every single minute available to him. Mbeumo has shown great versatility in those matches, too, sharing his game time across the centre-forward, right wing and attacking midfield spots.

TBR Football reports Unai Emery has been seriously impressed by Mbeumo and is interested in bringing the attacker to Villa Park. Meanwhile, it was claimed a few weeks ago by GiveMeSport that Liverpool and Newcastle United are both keen.

With speculation rife, Brentford head coach Frank has spoken openly about Mbeumo’s future prospects. It’s predicted the Cameroonian will leave the Bees for a better opportunity at some stage, though Frank believes his player is happy staying for now.

“He has added another layer this year. plus he's still created chances, opportunities and he's working so hard for the team,” Frank said via LondonWorld. "For me, he's a top player. I am convinced one day he will play for a bigger club. I'd buy him if I was a bigger club.

"He's very happy here. Some maybe need to leave us some day, but a lot are very happy because we have a top, top environment. We're good people, staff, players and we push each other.

"What I've learned in football, for any player, in a way the sky's the limit. It's always up to the player first but it's up to us to maximise the potential. My biggest task in the club is to maximise potential and who knows I think Bryan has got a fantastic package."
