It would take a huge bid for Brentford to consider selling Bryan Mbeumo this month amid links with several top Premier League clubs.

Mbeumo is enjoying another excellent season in West London, scoring 10 Premier League goals, with only five players having registered more strikes than the Frenchman throughout the division.

The 25-year-old has proven to be a dependable source of goals over the last two and a half seasons for Brentford, scoring 28 goals in 85 appearances while largely operating as a right winger.

He has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose current Liverpool contract is due to expire at the end of the season, but it would take an enormous offer for Brentford to think about letting him go in January.

Considering Liverpool and Salah are working towards a contract extension to keep him at the club beyond the summer, a mega-money bid for Mbeumo would make little sense at this juncture. Sky Sports reports that Newcastle is also interested in Mbeumo, while Arsenal is said to admire him as well.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank was asked on December 30 what he would say to any clubs who might register an interest in signing Mbeumo in January and chuckled as he responded: "In January? I would say good luck. We love Bryan. He loves playing here. He has had a fantastic season, so nothing will happen."

While he may not be on the move next month, comments that Frank made earlier in the season suggested Mbeumo could leave the club in future as he tipped him to "play at the highest level".

"I always admire Bryan's [Mbeumo] ambition; I'm privileged [that] I was here when we signed him, and I was flying down to Troyes and had a meeting with him and his agent," Frank said in November. "He was a young boy, a young man, at 19. [He] didn't really speak English, and now he's 25 and much more mature as a person and as a footballer. He's flying, and I think that development is fantastic. And his ambitions, I love it - you can't achieve anything without ambitions. So I understand him, and I think he's got the qualities to play at the highest level."
