Southampton saw £6m bid to sign forward rejected in 2019 and now he’s a £50m star wanted by Arsenal
Southampton used to excel when it came to recruitment.
The Saints brought a number of top talents to the Premier League🌄 during the 2010s – such as Sadio Mane, Virgil van Dijk, Toby Alderweireld, Dusan Tadic and Victor Wanyama – all of whom were later plucked by bigger sides.
ꦡIt left Southampton with a much weaker side, consisting of good players such as Nathan Redmond and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, but mostly nowhere near the level of those who departed.
However, Southampton did attempt to sign Bryan Mbeumo in 2019 before he found stardom at Brentford.
Troyes once rejected a bid from Southampton for Bryan Mbeumo
♊The Cameroon international is now one of the best forwards in Europe, with 15 goals and four assists in 26 Premier League appearances so far this season.
Arsenal even want to sign Mbeumo꧟ as a result of his outstanding displays, with the Bees placing a £50m price tag on their talisman.
ဣHowever – according to – Southampton made a bid in the region of £6m for the man born in Avallon back in the summer of 2019, after he enjoyed an impressive 2018/19 campaign at Troyes.
🔴Mbeumo scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 40 appearances that term, but opted to join Brentford instead.
ඣNow, Southampton are heading back towards the Championship, netting only 19 goals in 26 Premier League games this season – just four more than the Brentford No.19 has bagged himself.

ꦫAnge Postecoglou is believed to be a fan of Mbeumo💝 and wants him at Tottenham, with Spurs eager to avoid another injury crisis by adding depth to their attacking department.
Furthermore, Newcastle like Mbeumo🦄, with Eddie Howe keen to sign someone who can replicate what Anthony Gordon provides on the left flank.
🤡If the Brentford star maintains his scintillating form, he could well have his choice of club this summer.
