Since the accession of a transfer costs of £ 5.8 million, Mbeumo has scored 70 goals in 242 matches for Brentford, including 42 in 136 Premier League matches.

Frank, however, said earlier that Mbeumo would be sold for ‘a nice, nice amount’ if he left the bees

He said: ‘If he is sold, it must be for a nice, nice amount. It’s a lot. Mucho. Really a lot. Then it is clear that it is impossible to replace it one by one. It cannot be done.

‘There is a reason why he costs x number of million pounds, and we don’t have an x ​​number of million pounds to buy.

“I would say that I would be surprised if many big clubs didn’t watch him. I would be surprised with what he has to offer.
