Mbeumo has managed an impressive 18 goals and seven assists for the west London outfit in the league this season, and along with Wissa has formed a formidable partnership. This week, Brentford captain Christian Norgaard said he believes that the French-born Cameroon international 'is likely to go'. It follows recent reports that 25-year-old will be allowed to depart for a fee in the region of £60million. According to Sky Sports, there are four Premier League clubs in the hunt to sign the wide forward. The likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham are all tracking his situation, according to the outlet. The report also claims that Brentford will also listen to offers for Wissa, who joined the club from French side Lorient for £8. 5m in 2021. The 28-year-old attracted interest from Nottingham Forest in January and was the subject of a £22m bid that was rejected by the Bees. Wissa, who has registered 18 goals and three assists in the top flight this term, has reportedly been watched by Tottenham and West Ham. Bryan Mbeumo is expected to leave Brentford this summer, with the Bees reported to be seeking a fee in the region of £60million Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly among the clubs interested in the 25-year-old The Bees are also reportedly ready to listen to offers for Mbeumo's strike partner Yoane Wissa This week, Norgaard admitted that he is 'unsure' about the future of the DR Congo forward but 'everyone hopes he might stay'. 'I'm pretty calm about what will happen about Bryan and Wissa, ' said the Danish midfielder. 'A lot of questions are asked about them. You can almost feel the worries about the place when you talk about them maybe leaving us. 'The club has already now brought in [Igor] Thiago who hasn't played a lot but another fantastic character and he will take the league by storm at some point. I'm sure he'll be ready for whenever Wissa gets his dream move or if Bryan leaves then there will be a change in the offensive players. ' Perhaps crucially, both Mbeumo and Wissa layers are out of contract next summer, and so this window could prove vital if the club are to receive healthy sums for their two brightest talents. Brentford have maintained a sustainable business model in developing players and selling them on for bigger fees, with a strong track record in recent history. Ivan Toney was sold for £40m to Al Ahli after arriving for around £10m including add-ons, Ollie Watkins' £33m move to Aston Villa banked a profit of £31m, and selling Said Benrahma to West Ham for £30m made Brentford around £27m. Combined, Mbeumo (£5. 8m) and Wissa (£8. 5m) cost the Bees less than £15m in transfer fees. Should Wissa be sold for half the reported £60m Mbeumo will command, then the west London side will have made over six times their money.
