Bryan Mbeumo sends two-word Brentford message amid Newcastle speculation
Bryan Mbeumo shared a message after his standout performance against Leicester City, amid growing links to Newcastle.
Mbeumo was pivotal for Brentford once again as they dismantled Leicester 4-0 in the Premier League on 21 February, netting his 15th goal of the season.
After Yoane Wissa opened the scoring, Mbeumo doubled their lead with a stunning curling effort from the right flank.
Following the emphatic win, Wissa directed a message towards Thomas Frank, acknowledging another strong display from the attacking duo.
Meanwhile, Newcastle fans have been urging the club to sign Mbeumo, impressed by his consistent performances. However, despite the transfer speculation, the winger instead chose to focus on Brentford, posting a message to the fans.
Bryan Mbeumo remains unfazed by Newcastle interest
Mbeumo shared a video on Instagram showcasing his goal and assist against Leicester, captioning it: “Winning feelings.”
His teammate and fellow goalscorer Wissa showed his support by liking the post, while Cameroon compatriot and Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana also gave it a thumbs up.
However, Football Insider revealed that Newcastle are willing to meet Brentford’s asking price to secure Mbeumo in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The forward has established himself as one of Premier League’s top attacking threats this season, netting 15 goals and providing five assists across all competitions.
The partnership between Wissa and Mbeumo has been particularly effective, with the duo contributing a remarkable 35 goals and assists this season.
Their impressive performances have attracted attention from top clubs, with Arsenal keeping a close eye on Wissa, while Newcastle continue to pursue Mbeumo.

Brentford may be forced to sell Bryan Mbeumo
Football Insider also revealed that Brentford are under pressure to cash in on Mbeumo, as his contract is set to expire in 2026. This summer, he will have only a year remaining on his deal, making it crucial for the club to address his transfer status.
His significance to the team is evident, and with the side currently sitting mid-table in 11th place, a move to Champions League-chasing Newcastle could be incredibly appealing for the forward.
A front line featuring Mbeumo alongside Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon would undoubtedly be one of the most formidable in the league.
However, manager Frank will be hoping that he keeps his focus on the upcoming fixture against Everton on 26 February, despite the swirling transfer speculation.
