After a career-best season in which Bryan Mbeumo scored 20 Premier League goals, the much-needed Brentford admitted that he is on the task of playing under intense pressure
Bryan Mbeumo admitted that he has the ability and mentality to show the next level in his career – because the Brentford attacker is in the center of a transfer battle between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. The 25-year-old enjoyed a breakout season with the West-London club this season, scored 20 goals and contributed eight assists in the Premier League when they finished 10th.
His excellent individual campaign has attracted the Cameroon International Intense of the two English parties.
Ruben Amorim's side came to the fore as the favorites to sign Mbeumo after setting a first bid with a value of a maximum of £ 55 million for the winger, but was quickly rejected by Brentford, who appreciate their star player at £ 60 million.
While the Red Devils are said to prepare another offer for Mbeumo, Thomas Frank's decision has to leave the bees to become ange Postecoglou's replacement at Spurs, see the Europa League champions come in the race.
Allegedly, Spurs reportedly made a superior offer than United for Mbeumo's Services, where the North London side could have their Champions League participation next season.
A move to both clubs would be a big step in Mbeumo's career, after he had spent in Brentford for the past six years because he was questioned by former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel on the OBI One-Podcast about whether he can push himself to come to the next level.
“I think this is something that we can always do,” said Mbeumo last month alongside teammate Yoane Wissa. “But you need a lot of resilience because you can say:” I want to be there “but if you don't [enough] You cannot achieve what you really want.
“I think it is mental part to say to yourself if it gets difficult,” I can go harder, yes “if you say no, you will remain the good player you are, you can't be the best.”
Mbeumo insisted that he has the mentality to become a player who is consistently on the largest stage. He was asked by Mikel's co-hostry Chris Mchardy if he has the mental force to tackle the pressure associated with representing a club such as Manchester United.
“I've always wanted to play the biggest game[s] For the biggest club when I was younger, “Mbeumo replied.” It is easy to say that I want to be there, but you have to clearly ask yourself a lot and I have shown where I am capable of.
“I really demand myself because I know I have the skills [but] We never know what could happen. “
