Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal might compete for the same Premier League player next year
Share
Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal are all monitoring their transfer targets for the upcoming year.
These Premier League giants made significant investments in their squads this summer and are expected to compete fiercely for the title this season.
Off the pitch, they are also set to battle each other for Premier League talent.
Brentford’s Bryan Mbuemo has caught the attention of top English clubs due to his consistent performances.
According to HITC, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle United are all interested in acquiring the Brentford forward.
His impressive performances have been somewhat overshadowed by Ivan Toney’s presence at the club.
Nevertheless, Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa stepped up to lead the team’s attack during Toney’s suspension due to his betting ban.
The report suggests that Mbuemo could become one of the most sought-after players next year, given the interest from numerous clubs.
He meets the criteria that clubs are currently prioritizing, performing well in the data and analytics that many recruitment teams use today.
Brentford will aim to secure the player with a long-term contract.
Man City, Liverpool, and Arsenal are all interested in Mbuemo.
Currently, he has two years remaining on his deal, but the Bees are expected to offer him an extended contract with enhanced terms.
The Cameroon international excels both as a scorer and a creator, and his versatility in attacking roles makes him a valuable asset for any team that signs him.
He has begun the new season strongly, scoring three goals in three games so far, including a brace in Brentford’s 3-1 victory over Southampton last week.

Martin Zubimendi, speaks out about the £51 million Liverpool transfer collapse
Martin Zubimendi, a midfielder for Real Sociedad and Spain, was on track to join Liverpool this summer after the Reds triggered a release clause in his contract, which was worth just over £51 million. However, Zubimendi decided against the move and chose to stay at his current club.
Zubimendi has expressed no regrets about his decision, affirming his commitment to Real Sociedad and clarifying that he faced no pressure from friends or family. He told Marca, “No, no, my friends are clear that whatever I decide [for my future] will be the best. There is no pressure whatsoever.
Real Sociedad for me is my life, I think I have spent half my life there. A lot of what I am is part of la Real, it is my life. [Our goal to qualify for] Europe is clear. The higher the position, the better. We have to look for our best version and, above all, compete. To feel competitive, to be recognised and to be seen with personality.”
Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed that Zubimendi had declined the move but expressed confidence in the team’s remaining midfield options. Slot remarked, “I’ve said many times already that our squad is really strong and it’s not so easy to find players who can help us or improve the squad.
Zubimendi was one of them to be fair, but he decided not to come. We go forward with the ones we have. [Wataru] Endo did well in pre-season. We’re in a good place. [Sporting director] Richard [Hughes] is trying to strengthen the squad. Zubimendi decided not to come, we did every effort. If a player decides not to come then it’s obvious he’s not coming.”
Liverpool did not enhance their midfield this summer, with their only acquisition being Federico Chiesa from Juventus for £10 million. They also reached an agreement for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will officially join next summer.
Arsenal also showed interest in Zubimendi but ultimately signed his former Sociedad teammate, Mikel Merino, for an initial £28.4 million. Merino is sidelined for two months due to a shoulder injury.
