- Bees made Mbeumo deal difficult
- Teenage striker attracting interest
- Race is on to secure his signature
Metz starlet Idrissa Gueye is the player attracting interest from the Red Devils and the Bees. He is only 18 years of age and considered to be a hot prospect – with الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز new boys Burnley and الدوري الألماني giants Borussia Dortmund also monitoring his situation.
Brentford had hoped to have a clear run at the youngster, as they seek to reinvest some of the £71 million ($95m) raised from Mbeumo’s sale to Old Trafford. The race is now on, with it possible that Gueye will cost more than his initial £15m ($20m) asking price.
The Sun claims that متحد are ready to make a move as they see Gueye as a “long-term project” – with Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha already being added to their attacking ranks this summer.
Gueye has only been with Metz – who secured promotion into الدوري الفرنسي 1 last season – since January, when he completed a switch from Generation Foot in his homeland, but has progressed quickly since then and was part of the Senegal squad that enjoyed a 3-1 friendly win over England in June.
