Bryan Mbeumo transfer news: Man Utd relaxed about pursuit of in-demand Brentford forward despite Tottenham Hotspur interest - Sky Sports
Description

Manchester United are relaxed about their pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo despite being aware of Tottenham's interest in the Brentford forward.

Sky Sports News revealed last Friday that Spurs had held initial talks with Brentford for the 25-year-old.

Mbeumo is understood to be intrigued by Spurs, who have just appointed his former boss Thomas Frank, but one source has told Sky Sports News that as it stands he is leaning towards United.

How could Mbeumo, Cunha and Fernandes fit into Amorim's system?

United are expected to go back in with another offer for Mbeumo after having their initial bid worth up to £55m rejected. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will follow up their initial talks or move on to Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo.

Brentford value Mbeumo, who effectively has two years left on his deal, at more than £60m and are willing to listen to offers.

United have other targets in Mbeumo's position, including Semenyo, and have their own values in mind for both players.

What do the stats say?

Sky Sports Data Editor Adam Smith:

Bryan Mbeumo scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season to help Brentford secure a top-half finish - only three players scored more.

He also notched seven assists but should have registered more, clocking a league-topping 9.26 expected assists during the campaign - primarily from delivering a table-topping 202 crosses.

Additionally, only two players covered more distance or attempted more sprints for the season, making him one of the hardest grafters in the league. He also provides serious pace - clocking the fourth-fastest speed at 36.63 km/h.

Only Mohamed Salah collected more form points than Mbeumo last term, according to the Sky Sports Power Rankings.

Factoring in decisive goals or assists that changed the outcomes of games, his 27 goal contributions earned Brentford 22 points - equating to 40 per cent of the Bees' season tally.

Mbeumo can also create something from nothing. According to expected goals (xG), he scored nearly eight goals more than the quality of chances presented to him last season - more than any other player in the Premier League.

Bryan Mbeumo transfer: Brentford forward 'accepts' speculation amid Man Utd and Tottenham interest - Sky Sports
Description

Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo says he "accepts" the speculation surrounding his future amid interest from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs have held initial discussions with Brentford about a deal for Mbeumo, who is more intrigued in a Spurs move now that Thomas Frank has been appointed head coach.

Manchester United are also interested in Mbeumo, and had a bid rejected for him before Spurs started talks to hire Frank. The offer consisted of a guaranteed £45m plus £10m in bonuses.

One source has told Sky Sports News that as it stands Mbeumo is still leaning towards Manchester United, who are expected to go back in with a fresh offer for the Brentford forward.

There is a feeling at Brentford that Mbeumo has earned the chance to move to a bigger club this summer if one meets his valuation, which is in excess of £60m.

In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports' Craig Slater, Mbeumo said: "It (transfer speculation) is a bit new for me I would say!

"I think it can be the life of a footballer and you need to accept it."

Mbeumo scored 20 Premier League goals in a Brentford side that finished 10th and narrowly missed out on European football.

"It's been my best season so far in the Premier League," he added. "And even collectively, I think we did play very good games. I think we've been unlucky to chase the Europe spot, but I think it's been a fantastic season."

Mbeumo gives glowing assessment of Frank

Brentford's impressive season led to Spurs hiring Frank as their new head coach and Mbeumo expects the Dane to succeed at his new club.

"He's done so much for me. He literally trusted me from the start," Mbeumo said. "I think he developed the team so well.

"He developed me as a human and a player as well. So I can only wish him all the best, and I'm sure he's going to do well.

"I think he knows everything. He's really smart. He knows where he wants to bring the team, how he wants to play. I think he's been fantastic for Brentford.

"I think he's going to have some time to adapt, obviously. [Champions League] games, more expectations, as you said, but I'm sure he's going to do well.

"He knows how to talk to people. He knows how to build a group. And that's why we've been playing so well."

Keith Andrews a main candidate to replace Frank

Brentford's set-piece coach Keith Andrews is one of the main candidates to replace Frank as head coach.

Andrews had been part of Frank's coaching staff since last year and is well-regarded within the club.

Brentford promoted from within last time they required a new head coach, with Frank having been Dean Smith's assistant.

Andrews is one of a handful of names Brentford are seriously considering, but a final decision has not yet been made.

"It's big shoes to fill," Mbeumo said. "I think, (Frank had) seven years as a head coach. So, obviously it's going to be changing, but let's see."

Mathys Tel transfer: Tottenham Hotspur complete £30m deal to sign Bayern Munich forward - Sky Sports
Description

Tottenham have confirmed the signing of Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel in a deal worth £29.8 million, with the France U21 international signing a contract at the north London club until 2031.

Tel was originally signed on loan with a view of a permanent deal in January under former boss Ange Postecoglou, who has since been replaced by Thomas Frank.

Frank has since given the deal his approval.

Spurs paid a £7.3m loan fee in January and that temporary deal was always intended to become a permanent one, with Postecoglou often quoting the Tel move was with the long term in mind.

The 20-year-old started 11 games for Spurs in the Premier League and scored twice.
