Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in discussions to sign Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo and are also interested in Yoane Wissa, according to the latest news reports. The potential transfers come after Spurs appointed Thomas Frank as their new head coach, succeeding Ange Postecoglou. Frank's arrival at Tottenham has seemingly influenced the club's transfer targets, with Mbeumo, a key player under Frank at Brentford, emerging as a prime target.
Mbeumo has also attracted interest from Manchester United, who have already had a bid rejected for the player. Brentford are said to be holding out for a fee in excess of £60 million for the Cameroon international, who scored 20 Premier League goals last season. While Mbeumo had initially expressed a desire to join Manchester United, the appointment of Frank at Tottenham has reportedly made him more intrigued by a move to North London. Reports indicate that Frank himself is keen on reuniting with Mbeumo at Tottenham, and the player's pre-existing relationship with the new Spurs boss could give them an advantage over Manchester United in the pursuit of his signature. Mbeumo has even reacted to the news of Frank's departure from Brentford on social media, further fueling speculation about a potential move to Tottenham.
In addition to Mbeumo, Tottenham are also reportedly interested in his Brentford teammate, Yoane Wissa. Wissa, who scored 19 goals in 35 top-flight appearances in 2024-25, is another player who flourished under Frank's management at Brentford. However, some reports suggest that Frank may be unlikely to raid his former club for both Mbeumo and Wissa, although internal conversations have been held regarding Wissa.
Tottenham's pursuit of Mbeumo comes as they look to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season. The club is also monitoring other forwards, including Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo. Spurs are also said to be keeping tabs on Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze.
The potential arrival of Mbeumo and Wissa would undoubtedly strengthen Tottenham's squad and provide Frank with familiar faces as he embarks on his new role at the club. However, they face competition from Manchester United for Mbeumo's signature, and it remains to be seen whether they can agree on a deal with Brentford for either player. The summer transfer window officially opens on June 16th, and further developments on these potential transfers are expected in the coming weeks.
