Telegraph: Newcastle is interested in Mbemo, but Brentford s asking price of £60m may be a barrier

May 1, According to the Daily Telegraph, Newcastle intends to introduce Brentford striker Mbemo this summer, but the opponent's 60 million pounds asking price may become a barrier.

Mbemo is a forward all-rounder. He can not only play as the right winger, but also be competent for the center. Newcastle coach Eddie Howe has long admired Mbemo because he hopes to find players with such characteristics for the team's forward line.

Mbemo and Brentford's contract expires in two years. But if Brentford is willing to sell the striker this summer, Eddie Howe will be happy to sign him. By then, the Premier League club may be willing to listen to the offer.

When Newcastle knows what level of European war they will participate in, they may formally express their interests. After winning the League Cup, the Magpie at least guarantees that she can participate in the Europa League. Currently, they rank third in the Premier League, but only two points ahead of Nottingham Forest, which ranks sixth.

This season, Mbemo has played 33 Premier League games for Brentford, scoring 18 goals and sending 6 assists.
