A fascinating transfer battle is emerging for Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo (Image: Getty)
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made a £70million bid to outmuscle Manchester United for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo.
The offer from the north London club is said to be worth £65million plus an additional £5million in add-ons, which is £10million more than what United offered.
As reported last week, Tottenham's new manager Thomas Frank is keen on bringing 25-year-old Mbeumo to north London. And according to The Mirror, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is eager to secure the Cameroon international as a significant signing for the successor of Ange Postecoglou.

However, it appears that Manchester United remains the preferred choice for Mbeumo, who netted 20 goals in the Premier League for Brentford last season.
Frank hopes to lure him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the promise of a reunion and the opportunity to play Champions League football. The Danish manager has worked with Mbeumo since he joined Brentford from Troyes in 2019.
United have already made two offers for Mbeumo, the latest being a £60million package consisting of £55million plus £5million in add-ons last week.
Brentford declined the offer, leaving the door open for Tottenham to potentially make a decisive bid.
At present, it seems unlikely that United will increase their offer for Mbeumo beyond the £60million they have already spent on their star signing, Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha.

Despite the potential for change, Brentford are standing firm on their £70million valuation of Mbeumo, who was outscored by only three players last season - Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland. And his seven assists were instrumental in propelling the West London club to a top-half finish.
The area where United could still hold sway is in terms of wages. The salary on offer at Old Trafford ranges from £150,000-£175,000 per week, with bonuses potentially boosting Mbeumo's package to £200,000 per week.
To match this, Spurs would need to break their wage structure, with Mbeumo expected to earn around £130,000-£140,000 per week. Even with bonuses, this would fall short of the sum he could earn at United.
Mbeumo's stellar performance last season for Brentford quelled fears that the club would flounder following the departure of star striker Ivan Toney to Saudi Arabia a year ago.
With just a year remaining on his contract, plus an option for an additional year, the Bees have accepted that Mbeumo feels his time at the Gtech Stadium has come to an end and he is prepared to move on.
