Alongside Arsenal, it has been revealed that Premier League sides Manchester United and Tottenham are keen on the striker and that they could make a move to sign the Cameroonian before the month is out.

However, the report also claimed it would take a “large cheque” to tempt the bees to sell, more than €50 million, which works out to around £42 million. None of the interested parties have made an offer yet, but they have been in touch to “gather information” about what it would take to complete the deal.

This claim appears to have been backed up by Arsenal insider Conor Harrison, who revealed over the past 24 hours that… The Gunners have spoken to his agent Since last summer.

It could be a complicated move to get over the line, but given Mbwemo's immense ability and Arsenal's need for attacking reinforcements, it is one worth pursuing, especially as he has won comparisons with Kulusevski this season.

Another more important reason is his attacking abilities, as he has only made 25 appearances this season and is an 'unplayable' 25-year-old. It was named Bees Boss Thomas FrankAnd it was recorded He scored 13 goals and provided four assistsWhich means he averages 1.47 goals scored every match.

Moreover, the former “amazing” Troyes star, as he is called By Director Thomas Frankcan play on the right flank and down the middle, which could make him a competitor to Bukayo Saka – when fit – and Kai Havertz, thus ensuring that no one's level drops.

Ultimately, Arsenal are looking to sign a striker this month, and judging by how incredibly well he has played this season, Mbeumo could be the perfect player, in addition to Kulusevski.
