The Daily Mail reported that although Brentford coach Frank is expected to take over Tottenham, it is unlikely that Tottenham will take advantage of the opportunity to intercept Hubrentford winger Mbemo.
Manchester United's first offer of £55 million for Brentford striker Mbemo was rejected and negotiations continued. Mbemo is seen as a key signing target for Manchester United, and the team is seeking to strengthen the sluggish roster after a bad season. Manchester United scored only 44 goals in the Premier League last season, the second fewest among all non-relegated teams. Last weekend, news said Tottenham joined the competition for the Cameroon international.
Mbemo has joined Brentford for a transfer fee of 5.8 million pounds, and has played in a total of 70 goals in 242 games, including 42 goals in 136 Premier League games. In addition to Manchester United, there are also clubs who are interested in him. On the other hand, Mbemo has a great relationship with Frank, who signed Mbemo from the French Ligue 2 Troyes in 2019. With Frank about to take over Tottenham, Mbemo's connection with Tottenham is closer. This has made Old Trafford worry that they may lose to Tottenham again.
However, the Daily Mail learned that Tottenham is unlikely to join the Mbemo scramble, and sources revealed that the possibility is "extremely low".
