Manchester United has continued to haunt Bryan Mbeumo, but Newcastle has been encouraged to divert their attention from Anthony Elanga and to go after the Brentford star
Newcastle has been encouraged to withdraw from the signing of Anthony Elanga and instead to pursue Manchester United Bryan Mbeumo – for whom they have rejected different bids.
The Magpies seem to fulfill their first major signing of the summer after they have agreed a fee of £ 55 million with Nottingham Forest for their winger. Elanga, formerly in the Red Devils Books, was a highlight in the city area when they booked a place in Europe.
Eddie Howe is now looking to catch and add more quality to his front line with Newcastle who is preparing to return to the Champions League. However, they are encouraged to make a late change of direction and to go for Mbeumo.
The Brentford -attacker has just produced his best season so far, which has seen interest in him Mount, but so far the West Londonen have stood firm and various offers from the Manchester outfit.
The negotiations continue, but Don Hutchinson, formerly from Liverpool and West Ham, has advised those in St James' Park to pursue Mbeumo, mentioning as the “better signature”.
He said to Bestbetting sites: “As a fan of Newcastle, I think Mbeumo would be a better signature than Elanga. Because he can play on the right, but he can also play through the middle. He can come in if Alexander Isak gets injured.
“If I was Eddie Howe, Mbeumo would be one of the first I would like to go through the door. By signing him, you damage Manchester United, you take a brilliant player away from Brentford, and you also make your squad better. There are three ways to win him, although I think he will still be a brillant. He will still be a brillant.”
It would be a huge blow to those in Old Trafford, after all their efforts they missed Mbeumo. Matheus Cunha is currently the only player they signed this summer. Mbeumo and Brentford have become frustrated by the slow progress of a potential deal with the equipment of Manchester. The bees hold on to their asking price and are open to other offers for Mbeumo, since United weigh a third bid.
Brentford is looking for a reimbursement of more than £ 63 million and was encouraged by the figure related to Elanga – in the conviction that their appreciation is not only fair, but perhaps even lower than the market value.
