Amidst the quick developments regarding Bryan Mbeumo’s future over the last few hours, journalist Ben Jacobs has now revealed Tottenham and Manchester United’s latest stance regarding the Brentford man.
Tottenham Hotspur fans have got very excited about the reports that emerged regarding the Cameroon international over recent hours.
It was reported by Sky Sports earlier today that Mbeumo is now ‘more intrigued’ about joining Tottenham after the arrival of Thomas Frank in North London.
The outlet even claimed that Spurs had received encouragement in their pursuit of the 25-year-old while other sources suggested that the opportunity to remain in London could make Tottenham an attractive destination for Mbeumo.
The ball is in Man United’s court in Mbeumo pursuit
Journalist Ben Jacobs has now confirmed that Spurs have stepped up their interest in the Brentford man, but he explains that the conversation between the Lilywhites and the Bees are not at an advanced stage yet.
He reveals that the Red Devils are still the favourites to land Bryan Mbeumo over Tottenham at the moment, with the player preferring a move to Old Trafford.
However, Manchester United have only offered £45m plus £10m in add-ons for Mbeumo so far while the Bees want more than £60m for the player.

Interestingly, Jacobs asserts that Tottenham are willing to make a better offer than the one Ruben Amorim’s side had turned down for Mbeumo.
Tottenham have identified two Bryan Mbeumo alternatives
Jacobs says that while Tottenham may push ahead with an offer for Bryan Mbeumo if encouraged, they are not putting all their eggs in the Brentford man’s basket.
He claims that the Lilywhites have identified Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo and Southampton’s Tyler Dibling as alternatives to the Cameroon international.
