Tottenham, Manchester United Compete for Brentford Forward Bryan Mbeumo

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are both pursuing Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, who has expressed a preference for joining Manchester United. United has submitted bids around £55-60 million for Mbeumo, but Brentford has yet to accept, opening the door for Tottenham to potentially hijack the deal, especially with Tottenham nearing an appointment of Brentford manager Thomas Frank, under whom Mbeumo thrived. However, reports suggest Tottenham's interest in Mbeumo is less advanced than United's, and they have recently shifted focus toward Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, who is also attracting interest from Liverpool and United. Spurs' pursuit of Semenyo comes amid speculation that their captain Son Heung-min may be sold, and Tottenham are seeking to bolster their attacking options after a difficult Premier League season despite Europa League success. While Tottenham’s potential signing of Thomas Frank could influence Mbeumo's decision, United remains the primary club in formal talks to secure the striker’s signature.
