Spurs have appointed Thomas Frank as their new manager and he is said to be very keen on bringing Mbeumo with him from Brentford. United do hold an advantage in terms of their ability to offer Mbeumo higher wages, and he would earn around £200,000-per-week at Old Trafford, whereas it would be closer to £140,000-per-week at Spurs.
DID YOU KNOW?
Mbeumo has a year left on his contract and Brentford do hold the option to extend it by a further year should they wish to; they are resigned, however, to his departure this summer.

Spurs will hope to woo the Bees star into choosing them over United, as Daniel Levy aims to deliver a marquee signing for his new manager. Mbeumo scored 20 league goals last season, with only three players managing more: Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak, and Erling Haaland.
