"For sure, there is appreciation from Thomas Frank. And so it's quite obvious to discuss a target like Mbeumo for Tottenham, because he's one of the names they discussed internally as soon as he [Frank] signed his contract as new Tottenham manager."
"So it's obvious in football to see these kind of situations, but my understanding is that Manchester United remain, at the moment, in control of the situation, in conversation with Brentford, the club-to-club talking almost on daily basis, trying to find a solution. We know with these clubs like Brentford, Brighton is always difficult to negotiate for their top players, so it's not easy to reach an agreement, but United are on that. They are talking to the club, always in contact with player agents, and with an agreement with Bryan Mbeumo, because the player wants to go to United. And so at the moment, United remain frontrunners on this story. Let's see if they can be able to reach an agreement on the fee with Brentford."
