According to Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport, Arsenal has apparently set its sights on Bryan Mbeumo, but they may have to pay a hefty price to get the Cameroonian away from Brentford.

When Mbeumo scored in the Gunners’ 3-1 comeback victory over the Bees on New Year’s Day, they witnessed firsthand how clinical he can be. He has scored 13 goals in the Premier League so far this season, and he is tied for sixth place in the Golden Boot competition.
After Ivan Toney left last summer, Mbeumo, 25, assumed Brentford’s talismanic duties.
The strikers for Mikel Arteta have struggled since the year began.
The North Londoners are anticipated to sign at least one attacking player this window, according to Fabrizio Romano, who made this confirmation on GIVEMESPORT’s most recent Market Madness podcast.
Mbeumo, a Premier League veteran, is a good fit, reports Give Me Sport.
According to reports, Arsenal is watching Mbeumo and might make a bid for the Cameroonian international with 18 caps before the January transfer window ends.
A trade won’t be cheap because Brentford, who are fighting for a spot in the middle of the league, don’t want to lose their star player.
According to Hawkins, the Bees will probably want for more than Mbeumo’s €50 million (£42 million) Transfermarkt valuation.
After the season ends, he has one year left on his contract.
