With Frank now installed as manager, it appears as though Spurs’ transfer stance has changed. According to Sky Sports News, talks have been held between Spurs and Brentford over a move for Mbeumo, who has been forced to rethink a possible switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Manchester United are said to have identified Eberechi Eze and Antoine Semenyo as alternative targets to Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo. The Red Devils only scored 44 goals in the Premier League last term - the fifth worst return of any team - and they must address the weaknesses in their forward line if they are to improve next season.
