Tottenham have held initial discussions to sign Manchester United target Bryan Mbeumo following the appointment of Thomas Frank, according to reports.

Mbeumo had attracted interest from several Premier League clubs but appeared to have his heart set on a move to United this summer.

Brentford knocked back an initial offer from the Red Devils worth an initial fee of £45million, but Ruben Amorim’s side are expected to come back with a second offer closer to the Bees’ £60m valuation.

United are eager to sign the forward who netted 20 Premier League goals last season and bring him to Old Trafford alongside Matheus Cunha to boost their attacking options.

However, they may well have to act swiftly to complete a deal, with Sky Sports reporting that Tottenham have held talks with Brentford over a deal for Mbeumo.

Spurs appointed former Brentford manager Frank as their head coach on Thursday and the Dane is keen to bring some of his former players with him to north London.

The report adds that Mbeumo is said to be more keen to consider a move to Tottenham following the appointment of Frank.

Frank brought Mbeumo to Brentford from French club Troyes in 2019, with the Cameroon international spending two seasons in the Championship before helping the Bees get promoted to the top-flight.

The 25-year-old enjoyed his best season in a Brentford shirt last season and has 70 goals in 242 total appearances for the club.

Spurs may struggle to compete with United when it comes to wages, however, with Amorim’s side willing to pay Mbeumo a whopping £200,000-a-week.

Reports earlier in the week suggested Tottenham may only be able offer £130,000-a-week.

However, they may hope that the allure of Champions League football could give them a potential edge over United.

Tottenham still hold a long-standing interest in Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, who is also admired by United.

The sign was like a turqoise oasis to me.

Arsenal are assessing their options after Porto indicated they lack the funds required to sign Fabio Vieira on a permanent basis.

Much was expected of the Portuguese midfielder when he joined the Gunners in the summer of 2022.

The 25-year-old arrived carrying an ankle injury and struggled to find a regular place in Mikel Arteta’s team thereafter.

After a disappointing 2023/24 campaign when he was reduced to a bit-part role, he returned to his former club on loan last summer.

After several eye-catching performances, Porto would, according to The Sun, like to keep Vieira but are unable to match Arsenal’s valuation.

Arteta sanctioned the £35m purchase of Vieira three years ago and Arsenal are reluctant to make a significant loss.

Vieira will represent Porto at the upcoming Club World Cup and, after a summer holiday, is expected to report back to London Colney for pre-season training.

The former Portugal Under-21 international is not, however, expected to be included in the squad that departs for its pre-season tour at the end of July.

Arteta has already earmarked a place for Max Dowman, the 15-year-old sensation who was promoted to train with the first team squad last season.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are yet to add to their squad this summer but remain keen on signing a knew striker amid speculation they are making a renewed effort to sign Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres.

The Sweden international will not be allowed to leave for £59m, club president Frederico Varandas has insisted.

Gyokeres, who has been heavily linked with Manchester United, has an £84.7m release clause in his Sporting contract.

It has been reported, however, that the player believes he has a verbal agreement with the club whereby he can be sold for a fixed fee of £50.8m plus £8.4m in add-ons.

Varandas has denied such an arrangement exists but says the club did promise the 27-year-old they would not hold out for the full value stated in the release clause.

Varandas says this was discussed at a meeting between club officials and Gyokeres’ representative last year.

The club president told reporters in Portugal: ‘What was agreed? That Sporting would not demand a release clause now. For one reason – he was going to be 27 years old and no player leaves Portugal at 27 for 100 or 90million euros.

‘In that same meeting, the agent wanted to anchor the exit to a value. I said this sentence: ‘It’s not worth us setting a value because I don’t know what will happen in a year’s time. I don’t know if it will be 40, 60 or 80. What I can guarantee is that I will not demand 100million euros’.

‘From then on, I never spoke to the agent again, I never spoke to the player about departures or values.’
