Brentford's director Phil Giles confirms Bryan Mbeumo's future is unresolved amid Manchester United interest, with two significant bids rejected. Meanwhile, captain Christian Norgaard is set to join Arsenal for a reported £15m fee.
Arsenal are making swift moves in the transfer market, agreeing a deal for Christian Norgaard from Brentford, with Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga also close to joining. The Gunners are also targeting strikers like Gyokeres and Sesko.
Keith Andrews, previously Brentford's set-piece coach, has been unexpectedly appointed head coach, marking his first senior managerial role. This rapid ascent follows Thomas Frank's departure, a bold move for the former Ireland international, yet his immediate impact on the team's set-piece success hints at a promising tenure.
Manchester United seals a £1M deal for 16-year-old Southampton prodigy Harley Emsden-James, reinforcing their youth recruitment drive. The Red Devils are also actively pursuing Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo, aiming to bolster their senior squad's attacking options.
Manchester United's pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo faces hurdles after Brentford rejected their improved £62.5m bid. The Bees are holding out for a higher fee for their prolific 25-year-old winger, who scored 20 goals last season. Competition from Tottenham and other Champions League clubs adds complexity to the potential transfer.
