Newcastle takes action to sign Brentford striker Mbeumo before Manchester United

According to the Daily Telegraph, if Newcastle can act quickly and agree on the price with Brentford, they should be in the lead in the competition to sign the Brentford striker, Mbeumo, who is also a Manchester United target.

Newcastle United hopes to bring the Cameroon international to St James' Park Stadium, with an estimated transfer fee of £50-60 million, but they face competition from Manchester United.

Newcastle United Sports Director Paul Mitchell is determined to complete at least one key signing before leaving office at the end of June, as he has not signed any first-team player in the ten months he was in charge of recruiting, and signing Mbeumo could be of great significance.

Newcastle hopes to introduce a right winger and a forward this summer to partner with Isaac. Brentford star Mbeumo, 25, met the requirements, and contributed 20 goals and seven assists in 38 Premier League appearances this season.

Ensuring qualifying for the Champions League next season is a huge boost for Newcastle, and they need to add high-quality lineup depth on the offensive end to achieve good results in all competitions in the 2025-26 season.

Mbeumo has served as the right winger and No. 9 at Brentford this season, and has contributed a total of 18 league goals and 14 assists in the two seasons of 2022-23 and 2023-24, proving his strength.

His strengths include taking a set piece, shooting, crossing, sending a straight pass and key pass. He has the ability to improve Newcastle's performance in the offensive third zone.

's final ranking fifth and ensuring entry into the main stage of this top European tournament means Newcastle will be able to retain Isaac, who scored 23 goals this season. The addition of Mbeumo on the offensive end may help them attack the Premier League champion next season and even in the future.
