Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has urged the Blues to hijack Manchester United‘s move for Bryan Mbeumo. He believes that the Brentford forward would be a great addition, along with Liam Delap, this summer.
Speaking on ESPN FC, Leboeuf said that he sees Mbeumo as an ideal fit for Chelsea. He was talking about Delap’s upcoming move to the Blues, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, and questioned why the Brentford star was picking Manchester United. He said (via METRO):
As per reports, Manchester United are Mbeumo’s preferred destination this summer, despite interest from Newcastle United and Arsenal. The winger is looking for £250,000 per week as his new wages, per The Times.
Frank Leboeuf also spoke about Chelsea’s interest in Mike Maignan and stated that he was delighted to see the move. He wants his former side to add experienced players and believes that the AC Milan goalkeeper is a good fit.
Leboeuf said on ESPN FC (via METRO):
Chelsea and AC Milan are reportedly locked in talks with a major difference in their valuation. The Blues want to sign him for €10 million while the Serie A side want €30 million.
