Liverpool in race for African Premier League striker

In order to strengthen its offensive sector, Liverpool would be interested in an African striker from the English championship already being courted.

Liverpool continues to get his season off to a good start. Leader in the Premier League and the Champions League, the Reds are on track to have a very good season. The arrival of Arne Slot has energized the team and many players seem in great shape. They are currently one of the best teams in the world. Yet, strengthening is part of the club’s plans.

Despite the arrival of a new coach, Liverpool did not register a large number of signings during the 2024 summer transfer window. Only two players have been officially signed, including one who is currently on loan at Valencia. But for the next transfer windows, this could well change. Indeed, the Reds would like to strengthen their offensive sector. As a target, the English club would be interested in African striker from Brentford, Bryan Mbeumo. However, according to The Sun, Newcastle are also said to be interested in the 25-year-old Cameroonian.

Bryan Mbeumo, a sure bet in the Premier League

At 25 years old, Bryan Mbeumo is one of the most decisive strikers in the Premier League. With Brentford, he established himself as a sure bet in the championship. This season, the Cameroonian striker has already scored 8 goals in 13 Premier League matches. For the moment, only Erling Haaland is doing better in the English championship with his 12 goals.

For several seasons, Mbeumo shows his level more and morewhich seems to interest major English and foreign clubs. Capable of playing in the center as well as on the right side, his profile is of great interest to Liverpool but also Newcastle. While his contract ends in June 2026Brentford should consider selling him this season if the club does not wish to lose him freely. The competition is likely to be tough between the two clubs, especially since other teams are carefully following the profile of the Cameroonian striker.
