In the Premier League, the inspiring story of 19-year-old Mbeumo joining the Bees for £5.8 million and leaving at 25 with a £71 million transfer fee.

The Premier League is currently the top league among the five major leagues and has the highest viewership. The revenue from match broadcasts is several times that of other leagues, allowing players to showcase their skills and talents to fans worldwide more quickly and effectively. The Premier League is not short of inspiring stories, and this issue's protagonist is the 25-year-old Cameroonian right winger Mbeumo.

Mbeumo joined Brentford from Troyes in the summer transfer window of 2019 for a fee of £5.8 million when he was just 19 years old and had a full head of hair. Over his six years at Brentford, Mbeumo made 242 appearances across all competitions, scoring 70 goals and providing 51 assists. His performance improved year by year, and last season he became the second-best right winger in the Premier League, only behind Salah, who took home both the Premier League Golden Boot and the assist title. His market value skyrocketed from €3.5 million at the time of joining to €55 million. Mbeumo was a regular starter last season, making 38 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 20 goals, and providing 7 assists, making him a significant signing for Manchester United, who are not competing in European competitions. Mbeumo has already proven himself in the Premier League, so he can be considered match-ready without needing to adapt to the league, providing at least a baseline assurance compared to players like Hojlund and Cirkzee, who might struggle to adjust.

After six years at Brentford, where he spent the first two years in the Championship and the last four fighting for survival in the Premier League, Mbeumo's transfer to Manchester United leaves Brentford with a staggering £71 million transfer fee, a significant return on the £5.8 million they paid to sign him six years ago. Mbeumo's journey with Brentford is an inspiring tale for both the player and the club, as he has grown while the team has established itself as a mid-table Premier League side, ensuring safety each season. Now, as Mbeumo moves to Manchester United to earn big money and pursue his dreams, he also leaves his former club with a substantial sum to strengthen their squad—truly a win-win growth story.
