Bryan Mbeumo

Mbeumo won 10 caps and scored one goal for France at U17, U20 and U21 level. In August 2022, following a meeting in London with Samuel Eto'o, Mbeumo declared his senior international allegiance to the Cameroon national team. He made 9 appearances and scored one goal during the 2022–23 season, with three appearances coming during Cameroon's 2022 World Cup campaign, prior to the team's group stage exit. After appearing in three of Cameroon's four 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches and scoring one goal, injury ruled Mbeumo out of the final tournament.

Mbeumo is a versatile forward who primarily operates as a right winger in a front three, often cutting inside onto his stronger left foot. He can also be played as a striker or attacking midfielder. In systems using a 3–4–2–1 formation, he typically plays as an inside forward in the right half-space, where he can exploit defensive gaps, link up with teammates, and pose a threat on goal. Known for his pace, direct dribbling, and movement off the ball, Mbeumo excels in quick attacking transitions. He is particularly effective at carrying the ball into dangerous areas and creating high-quality chances, as reflected by his league-leading expected assists (xA) in the 2024–25 season. Despite not being a traditional striker, he also recorded the highest number of non-penalty goals over expected (npxG overperformance) during the same campaign, showcasing his clinical finishing.

Troyes

A left-footed winger with a preference for playing on the right, Mbeumo joined Troyes at the age of 14. He graduated to the club's reserve team in the 2016–17 season. He was in the Troyes U-19 team which won the 2018 Coupe Gambardella, scoring twice in the final at the Stade de France. Mbeumo made his senior debut for the club in a 1–0 Ligue 1 win over Metz on 17 February 2018, and made three further appearances during the 2017–18 season, which culminated in Troyes' relegation to Ligue 2. Mbeumo became a first-team regular in the 2018–19 season, making 40 appearances and scoring 11 goals. Troyes reached the Ligue 2 promotion play-off semi-finals. He departed the Stade de l'Aube in August 2019, having made 46 senior appearances, and scoring 12 goals.

Brentford

2019–2021

On 5 August 2019, Mbeumo moved to England to join Championship club Brentford on a five-year contract, for a club record fee of £5.8 million. He made 47 appearances and scored 16 goals in the 2019–20 season. Brentford reached the 2020 Championship play-off final, but were defeated 2–1 by Fulham. Mbeumo's performances were recognised with a nomination for the EFL Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards at the 2020 London Football Awards. Mbeumo's goalscoring dropped off during the "difficult" COVID-19-affected 2020–21 season.
