Arsenal have reportedly turned their attention to Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, according to L’Equipe via GFFN as the Gunners look to bolster their attack following a series of injuries.

The North London club suffered a significant blow when Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus tore his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), ruling him out for the rest of the season. This setback adds to Arsenal’s growing injury list and highlights the need for reinforcements in the attacking department.

Bryan Mbeumo has been in sensational form this season, registering 13 goals and 3 assists in the Premier League. The 25-year-old forward has formed a formidable partnership with Yoane Wissa, making Brentford’s attack one of the most exciting in the league.

Valued at £42 million (transfermarkt), Mbeumo is capable of playing as a striker or operating from the wings. His versatility, combined with his impressive performances, makes him one of the most exciting players in the Premier League this season. Arsenal view him as a potential game-changer and a much-needed addition to their squad.

The Gunners have struggled in front of goal, a problem underscored by their FA Cup first-round exit at the hands of Manchester United. With these issues becoming increasingly evident, Arsenal are actively searching for a forward to lead their attack.

In addition to Mbeumo, the Gunners have been linked to Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyökeres and Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, as they weigh-up their options to strengthen the squad in the winter transfer window.

Arsenal fans will be eagerly watching to see if the club can secure the services of Bryan Mbeumo, whose current form and versatility could provide the firepower needed to reignite their season.
