Liverpool is enjoying a sensational start to the season, showcasing a blend of attacking flair and solid defensive performance that has propelled them to the top of the Premier League table. Under the guidance of manager Arne Slot, the Reds have displayed an exhilarating style of play, with key players stepping up to deliver standout performances.
Liverpool, along with several other Premier League clubs, is closely monitoring the impressive performances of Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, according to sources from TEAMtalk. The 25-year-old has had a sensational start to the season, netting five goals in the first six Premier League matches, including stunning strikes against Tottenham and West Ham.
Is Mbeumo perfect for Liverpool?
Bryan Mbeumo was Brentford’s second-highest scorer last season, netting 10 goals across all competitions despite missing nearly four months due to an ankle injury.
Liverpool have identified the Cameroon international as a potential replacement for Mo Salah, whose future at Anfield remains uncertain as he enters the final year of his contract. Mbeumo currently earns £45,000 per week and has accumulated an impressive 97 goal contributions in 207 matches.
As reported by TEAMtalk, those within Liverpool’s hierarchy do not anticipate Mo Salah signing a contract extension and believe he is likely to make a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia next season. Bryan Mbeumo’s versatility, allowing him to operate on the right wing like Salah or anywhere in the forward line, makes him an appealing target for Liverpool.
The club also values its positive working relationship with Brentford, having sold Fabio Carvalho and Sepp van den Berg to the Bees during the summer transfer window.
Top clubs to fight for Mbuemo
Liverpool would encounter competition for Mbeumo should they pursue the forward more seriously, as Arsenal and Newcastle are also keen admirers of the French-born player. Currently, Mbeumo is under contract with Brentford until the summer of 2026, with an option for an additional year.

Brentford is not expected to entertain offers for Mbeumo when the transfer window reopens in January, as the club is already lacking in attacking options due to the departure of Ivan Toney and injuries to Igor Thiago and Yoane Wissa.
Liverpool’s sustained interest in Mbeumo hinges on Salah’s future; if the Egyptian star leaves on a free transfer when his contract expires, the Reds will likely need to secure at least one attacking addition next summer.
