Mbeumo and Wissa in Williams' underrated XI of the season
As the dust settles on this Premier League campaign, we asked former England international Fara Williams for her underrated XI for the selected Byran Mbeumo and Yoanne Wissa from Brentford in her team.I can't have one of these without the other really. For a club who finished 10th to have one player score 19 league goals and another score 20 is Ivan Toney departed last summer everyone wondered how Brentford would make up for his goals and I worried they may struggle to stay in the league without their main Thomas Frank has adjusted his system to maximise the effectiveness of Mbeumo and Wissa whose quality and pace has caused so many Premier League teams' defences problems this context, Toney managed 20 league goals in his best season - and these two got 39 between them! It is an unbelievable goal Brentford to be fighting for and talking about Europe deep into the season shows how established they have become as a Premier League club and Bees fans must be raving about this duo every will be the inevitable conversations over whether the club can keep hold of them over the transfer window but regardless of what happens it has been a very special finished the season as the league's sixth-highest scorers. Including the 11 scored by Kevin Schade, their front three scored 50 combined. Fara Williams was speaking to BBC Sport's Nat Hayward

Manchester United told cost of Bryan Mbeumo transfer amid key contract detail
Manchester United and Newcastle are among the clubs chasing 20-goal Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo ahead of the summer transfer window Brentford boss Thomas Frank has warned Manchester United that Bryan Mbeumo will cost "a lot" of money this summer. The Cameroon international was one of the Premier League's most-potent attackers this season, notching up 20 goals and seven assists for the Bees. However, Brentford have reluctantly accepted that after nearly six years in west London, Mbeumo could now be set to depart the club and move onto pastures new. United and Newcastle are eyeing the 25-year-old but Frank insists the Bees won't rollover during transfer negotiations. The Dane told Tipsbladet: 'It is clear that if he is to be sold, it must be for a nice, nice amount. It is a lot. Mucho. Really a lot. 'Then it is clear that it is impossible to replace him one for one. It cannot be done. There is a reason why he costs x number of million pounds, and we do not have x number of million pounds to buy for." When asked to shed light on the extent of potential interest, Frank added: 'I would say that I would be surprised if a lot of big clubs don't look at him. I would be surprised with what he has to offer. "How many wingers score 20 goals for a mid-table club? And then with seven assists plus his work ethic. And his character. All these things mean that he has a lot, so he is a good player.' Between Mbeumo and fellow forward Yoane Wissa, the pair hit 39 goals in the Premier League this term despite losing Ivan Toney to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli last summer. Mbeumo has just over one year left to run on his current contract but Brentford do have a one-year extension option which the club can activate. United are in the market for attacking reinforcements for Ruben Amorim but they're operating with limited finances after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham. They've now activated Matheus Cunha's release clause, worth £62.5million, so their spending power will now be dictated by player sales. Newcastle have long been chasing Mbeumo and he has been on their radar for some time while Arsenal had previously looked at the highly-rated winger. Speaking towards the end of the season, Frank admitted that Brentford remain a selling club and pinpointed that unfortunately, they would struggle to keep hold of their best players moving forward. The Bees narrowly missed out on UEFA Conference League football but they did secure their second top-half finish in three seasons, ending up in 10th spot.

Brentford's Mbeumo, 25, is a top target for several clubs, including Premier League champions Liverpool, after an electrifying season. Howe has long been an admirer of the Cameroon international, who scored 20 GOALS and provided eight assists in the Prem this season. But Bees manager Thomas Frank won't let Mbeumo go easily, with the West London club set to ask for between £50-£60million. 5 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Mbeumo finished just three goals behind Newcastle No 9 Alexander Isak, who came second to Mo Salah in the Golden Boot race this season.

Newcastle star Callum Wilson bravely opens up on moment he considered taking his own life as a child 5 When asked about transfers last weekend, Howe stressed that Newcastle must move quickly. The 47-year-old, who led Newcastle to their first trophy in 70 years, said: 'Speed is key for us. I've reiterated that many times internally. 'We have to be dynamic, we have to be ready to conclude things very, very quickly because good players don't hang around for long. 'That's always been my thought and my message on recruitment because you can have a period where you think you've got time. 'But then you can look around quickly and realise that that time has elapsed and you have missed opportunities that you won't get again. 'That's what we'll be trying, but obviously the reality of that is it's not always in your hands. But we'll be doing our best to do things early.'

Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Cunha set for United MEDICAL, Liam Delap deal ‘AGREED', Fernandes ‘to Al-Hilal' LATEST
Alejandro Garnacho boost Manchester United have held talks with Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo and could use the money raised from the sale of Alejandro Garnacho to finance a deal. Garnacho is set to leave Old Trafford this summer having fallen out of favour with manager Ruben Amorim. Man Utd allegedly want £60million for the winger, but club officials are willing to negotiate if another suitable bid arrives. Chelsea and Napoli are among the clubs currently understood to be keen, although the Argentina international's reps expect more interest from Premier League rivals and Saudi Pro League clubs. According to TalkSPORT, the Red Devils have already held talks with Mbeumo who has just one year left on his deal and is currently valued at £50m. The proposed sale of Garnacho would account for pure profit meaning the funds could go directly towards a potential bid for the Cameroon international, according to Manchester World.
