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 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.

Brentford are applying pressure on Manchester United to meet their £60million asking price for Bryan Mbeumo by reportedly entering transfer talks with Tottenham Hotspur. New Spurs head coach Thomas Frank will try to convince Mbeumo to remain in London after striking a fruitful relationship with the 25-year-old over six years at Brentford.
