Exclusive with Graeme Bailey.

Liverpool are considering a summer move for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, Rousing The Kop can exclusively reveal.

Mbeumo has been in sparkling form in the Premier League this season, hitting 13 goals in 21 appearances.

And as Liverpool continue to assess their options in attack, RTK have been informed that Mbeumo is a serious target.

The 25-year-old is expected to leave Brentford in 2025, having been at the Gtech Community Stadium for six years.

It’s understood that although a January exit has been ruled out for Mbeumo, Liverpool are one of the teams closely monitoring the situation for the summer.

Liverpool seriously considering Bryan Mbeumo move

Mbeumo has been a consistent performer ever since Brentford’s promotion to the Premier League in 2021.

Having joined from French club Troyes while the West London side were still in the Championship, Mbeumo is a well loved figure at the Gtech.

And as a result of his excellence for the club, it’s understood that Brentford expect Mbeumo to fetch a club record fee when he is eventually sold.

RTK have been informed that the Bees have placed a £50-60m price-tag on their No.19 ahead of the summer.

Liverpool are understood to be big fans of Mbeumo having done plenty of work on the forward during his time with Brentford.

However, the Reds are far from the only team interested and RTK have been informed that both Arsenal and Newcastle hold an interest in Mbeumo, too.

Thomas Frank hails ‘unplayable’ Bryan Mbeumo

Mbeumo has been a thorn in the side of Premier League teams over the past four seasons.

But in 2024/25, the Cameroon international has really stepped things up a notch. After 21 games, Mbeumo already has his best ever goals return for a top division season.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank is understandably a huge supporter of his player. Frank has publicly ruled out Mbeumo leaving in January and given his words about the former France U21 player, that is not a surprise.

“Bryan Mbeumo today was unplayable,” Frank told BBC Sport after Brentford’s 4-2 win over Newcastle last December. “The way he holds the ball up and links play, like today to Kevin Schade [for the fourth goal] was very impressive.”
