Thierry Henry thinks £50m striker is going to leave his club after interest from Arsenal
Following a serious injury to Gabriel Jesus a couple of weeks ago, Arsenal have made no secret about their plans to recruit a new striker.
Kai Havertz is currently shouldering Arsenal’s striker task alone a♊t the Emirates Stadium, explaining why Mikel Arteta swiftly need🐲s another body.
Havertz has looked exhausted of late, so it was necessary for Leandro Trossard to deliver a makeshift false nine performance against Girona in the Champions Leꦿague recently – a relatively ineffective performance.
That being said, Arsenal are being linked with Mathys Tel🦄 and other strikers thought to be available on a short-term basis this month.
But when it comes to longer-term targets in north London, Bryan Mbeumo’s name is often mentioned.
Thierry Henry thinks Bryan Mbeumo is set to leave Brentford
Interestingly, prior to Brentford’s tie with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry was asked for his thoughts about Mbeumo on .
Henry was extremely complimentary abo𓃲ut Brentford’s versatile forward, who can play in a whole host of positions, explaining his appeal to Arsenal.
Arsenal are interested in Mbeumo, and fans in N5 might theܫrefore be intrigued to read Henry’s comments that he thinks the striker might leave Brentford in six months time.
Henry said: “Yes he is [a gem], and I like the way he has evolved as a player and obviously I know him from before, he used to play f🤪or the [France] under-21 team before changing nationality but I like the way he goes about it.
“I like the way he finishes, the way he asks for the ball in behind, he can press very w﷽ell, he has an eye for a pass also – I think he’s a very good player.
“I don’t know how long he’s going to st𝐆ay at Brentford – sorry I don’t want to…, but you can see how some teamsไ can be interested in him at the end of the season.”
Arsenal could finally rest Bukayo Saka if Bryan Mbeumo arrived
In terms of the summer, Arsenal want to sign Ale♛xander Isak or Benjamin Sesko predominantly – their two main targets.
But perhaps Mbeumo, who’s thought to be valued at around £50m, could be an excellen✨t signing in addition to one of those number nines.
As mentioned, Mbeumo is very versatile and has even played as a rig⛦ht wing-back for Tho🦄mas Frank’s side this season.
And as well as operating as a striker when needed for the Gunners, Mbeumo ♓would also provide a st🎃ylistic replacement for Bukayo Saka when needed, a winger who clearly needs to be rested more often when he eventually returns.
