Bryan Mbeumo Reveals Thomas Frank’s Tottenham Transfer Pitch
Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo has shed light on a pivotal conversation with his former manager, Thomas Frank, before the latter’s move to Tottenham Hotspur. As Frank prepares to lead Spurs into the 2025/26 Premier League season, Mbeumo disclosed that the Danish tactician made it clear he is a “priority signing” for the North London club.
Mbeumo, who has been in scintillating form for Brentford, scoring 20 goals last season, revealed that Frank contacted him immediately after agreeing to join Tottenham. “Thomas called me as soon as he signed,” Mbeumo told reporters. “He said, ‘Bryan, you’re my priority. I want you at Spurs to help build something special.’ It’s exciting to hear that from someone who knows my game so well.”
The Cameroon international, now 26, has been heavily linked with both Tottenham and Manchester United. However, Frank’s appointment at Spurs has tilted the scales in their favor. Sources indicate that Tottenham have tabled a £70m bid to secure Mbeumo’s services, dwarfing United’s interest. The winger’s familiarity with Frank’s high-pressing, attacking system makes him a natural fit for Spurs’ ambitions, especially as they prepare for Champions League football following their Europa League triumph.
Mbeumo’s versatility across the frontline and his goal-scoring prowess have made him a prime target. However, his potential move comes with a catch: he could miss up to eight games in the 2025/26 season due to international commitments with Cameroon. Despite this, Frank is determined to reunite with his former star, believing Mbeumo can fill the void left by an aging Son Heung-min, who struggled last term.
Tottenham’s transfer strategy under Frank is taking shape, with the club also eyeing Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo as a potential alternative, though Mbeumo remains the top choice. Fans are buzzing with anticipation, hopeful that Frank’s Brentford blueprint—marked by dynamic attacking play—will translate to Spurs with Mbeumo leading the charge.
As the transfer saga unfolds, Mbeumo’s comments have only fueled excitement among Tottenham supporters. With Frank’s clear intent to build his squad around the Brentford star, the stage is set for a blockbuster move that could define Spurs’ season.
