As the tug-of-war between Manchester United and Tottenham for Brentford talisman Bryan Mbeumo ensues, the Cameroonian international's previous admission adds more fuel to the fire

Tottenham Hotspur have expressed an interest in signing Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford in a move that could derail Manchester United’s hopes of recruiting the forward.

Tottenham Hotspur are exploring a move to reunite Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo with manager Thomas Frank, reports have revealed. Frank left Brentford earlier this week to take charge at Spurs, who were initially expected to keep out of the pursuit of Mbeumo.
