Newcastle told to ‘break the bank’ on signing Bryan Mbeumo after update

Wed 30 October 2024 0:00, UK Updated Wed 30 October 2024 9:03, UK

Newcastle United supporters have urged the club to “break the bank” to sign Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo.

According to The Telegraph, the Magpies are keen on signing the 25-year-old in the January transfer window to bolster their attacking options.

However, the Premier League giants would have to sell someone to make the deal happen due to spending restrictions.

Howe’s side aren’t the only club targeting Mbeumo at the moment though as Football Insider revealed Arsenal are also considering him due to their squad being stretched by injuries.

The winger has scored eight goals from the opening nine Premier League fixtures this season and is gaining plenty of admirers with his performances for the Bees.

Newcastle have been hoping to strengthen their wide options since the last transfer window, and Football Insider revealed that Barcelona’s Raphinha is another option being considered.

Newcastle United fans are desperate to get Bryan Mbeumo through the door

After a difficult summer transfer window that saw the club struggle to secure several top targets such as Marc Guehi, fans are now eager for the hierarchy to get this deal over the line.

The Toon Army have urged the club to “break the bank” and go “all in” to make this signing happen in January.

We should be going all in, and forcing Almiron and Murphy out.

I’ve said it loads of times on here over the past year or so – Bryan Mbeumo is the best option for #NUFC at RW – and I’m not at all surprised that the club agree.

He fits the profile perfectly, and is a player who should align with both Howe and Mitchell’s objectives. https://t.co/Ia4FjRqqpD pic.twitter.com/ORpMmfWJ8U

Genuinely not sure why there's "spending restrictions" and "limited funds".

Supporters are stupid.

We know we bid £60M for Olise and £70M for Guehi just a couple of months ago.

The money is there.

No one needs to be sold in order to spend that money on Mbeumo. #NUFC

Buying mbuemo would be fantastic business regardless of how it affects the summer. Get it done.

This is where I don't understand our transfer model. Mbuemo is a fantastic proven player and will be priced as such. We can afford one such player a season. We aren't going to improve signing one first team player a season. #nufc

He seems a very good fit, at the right age and with versatility which is a bonus (given Wilson's fitness issues). Given we spent very little in the summer you would think we would a have a bit to play with.

£50m price tag for Mbeumo is a no brainer for #NUFC @Edit_Kev https://t.co/TMtPwY4tji

We should literally break the bank with Mbeumo; he is not only a winger but a striker, so that covers both positions we need. But Howe needs to be flexible with his formation. Harvey Barnes was brilliant in that Leicester team when they played a 4-3-2-1 formation.
