Mbuemo’s Hefty Wage Demands Spark Transfer Speculation
With the 2024/25 Premier League season officially wrapped up, all eyes have shifted to the transfer market and as usual, the rumour mill is heating up. Mbuemo’s hefty wage demands spark transfer speculation, especially as Manchester United reportedly targets the Brentford star. The Red Devils are said to be eyeing Bryan Mbuemo, who is asking for a massive pay increase. According to The Times, Mbuemo wants to pocket £250,000 (about AU$523,000) per week five times more than his current salary. United seems keen, but it won’t come cheap. The 25-year-old Cameroonian forward has just a year left on his contract, and Brentford could be willing to sell for around £60 million (AU$125m). With 20 goals in the Premier League last season, Mbuemo has certainly earned a place on the radar of top clubs.

Spurs Might Cash In on Son
Over at Tottenham, Son Heung-min’s future is also up in the air. The Telegraph reports that Spurs are open to selling the South Korean forward as interest from Saudi clubs grows. The 32-year-old only has a year left on his current deal, and Tottenham might see this as the perfect time to cash in. Son has been a loyal servant to the club since 2015 and has openly admitted he stuck around in hopes of helping them end their trophy drought. With a Champions League return looming, Spurs are looking to shake things up and raise funds for new signings and selling Son could play a big part in that strategy.
Second Chance in Europe for Arzani
Daniel Arzani could be making a return to European football. The Aussie forward has reportedly been offered a contract by Scottish club Hearts, as reported by The Edinburgh News. Arzani, 26, is out of contract with Melbourne Victory and appears eager to test himself overseas again. After signing with Celtic back in 2018, Arzani’s career hit a tough patch when he tore his ACL on debut. He’s since struggled for consistency but enjoyed a strong A-League season recently. Now, with interest coming from Europe, Asia, and other A-League clubs, a move back to Scotland could be on the cards. Hearts already have two Aussies in Calem Nieuwenhof and Cameron Devlin, which could make for a smoother transition.
