Norgaard: Mbeumo Likely to Depart Brentford Amid Premier League Interest

Brentford captain Christian Norgaard has suggested that star forward Bryan Mbeumo is likely to leave the club this summer amid strong interest from several top Premier League teams, including Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Liverpool. Mbeumo, who has scored 18 Premier League goals this season, has become a key player for Brentford, especially after Ivan Toney's departure. Strike partner Yoane Wissa, also on 18 goals, is another potential departure, though his future is less certain. Despite the prospect of losing both attackers, Norgaard expressed confidence in Brentford's proven ability to successfully replace key players, highlighting the signings of talents like Igor Thiago. Brentford's recent history of selling top talents such as Ollie Watkins, Said Benrahma, and Ivan Toney while remaining competitive supports this optimism. The club may face significant changes in their attacking lineup, but leadership remains calm about their ability to adapt.
