‘He’s a mini Mohamed Salah’ – Liverpool urged to consider Bryan Mbeumo transfer
Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo has been crowned Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah replacement by Jason Cundy. Mbeumo has been on fire this year with nine goals and two assists in the Premier League this season. Mbeumo has become an Fantasy football heroGetty One half of Thomas Frank’s dangerous forward pairing, Yoane Wissa completing the duo. The Congolese international has also netted nine times, placing him joint fourth in the golden boot race with his teammate. Against Newcastle they were on fire, both stamping their names on the scoresheet to claim a 4-2 victory at home. Mbeumo opened the scoring as he drove past Lewis Hall and tip-toed his way through the defence to pluck out a lovely finish into Nick Pope’s top left corner. After an equaliser Wissa put Brentford back on top with a curling side foot finish. This game marked Mbeumo hitting 100 goals and assists for the club, five years since his arrival. Speaking after the impressive performance talkSPORT hosts Jason Cundy and Jamie O’Hara were discussing Newcastle’s struggles as they trudge in twelfth. “I’d much rather have Wissa and Mbeumo on my team,” claimed O’Hara. “They’re unbelievable. If they’re outside of Europe come the end of the season Mbeumo and Wissa are going to be top property.” In reply Cundy said: “Mbeumo, I think, when you look at what might happen at Liverpool with Salah… I’m looking at Mbeumo and what he’s capable of. He’s a little mini Salah, off that right hand side, his left foot.” O’Hara would ‘snap their hands off’ for the 25-year-old to join Tottenham Hotspur. Mbeumo and Wissa have a combined tally of 18 Premier League goalsGetty Newcastle had no answer for Mbeumo With Salah’s contract situation remaining unsolved Liverpool’s hierarchy may be searching for an adequate replacement, of which Mbeumo has been named by fans as a possible option. No doubt a hard task to replace a man with 170 goals and 77 assists in 277 league appearances. The Egyptian continues to break records seemingly on a weekly basis as he scored and assisted in 37 league matches, the most in history, taking the top spot from Wayne Rooney. Mbeumo is capable of replacing sizable holes within a squad as proven by his current form following the previous playing ban and then exit of Ivan Toney from the Bees. Arguably Brentford, sitting seventh, are displaying their best football in the top flight without the England international. Mbeumo and Wissa are rolling back the years with their amazing strike partnership, reminiscent of the good old ‘Barclays’ days.
