Arsenal already tracking PL winger ahead of January move

Arsenal are keeping a close watch on the performances of Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo ahead of a potential January approach.

The Cameroonian has been in splendid form for the Bees this campaign and he has already netted eight goals from nine league games.

His form has captured the attention of the Gunners and Football Insider claim that they are considering a possible move this winter.

However, a deal won't be straightforward with Brentford said to be determined to keep Mbeumo until the summer at least.

The west London outfit are set to demand over £60m for the 24-year-old and believe such a fee would ward off Arsenal from making a January bid.

Liverpool are also admirers of the talented winger, but the Merseyside giants are unlikely to spend big until the season ends.

They are unsure over Mohamed Salah with his contract expiring next summer. They could wait for the Egyptian's decision before considering Mbeumo as an option.
