Arsenal considered move for Brentford attacker Mbeumo

The Gunners had been linked to another Bees player for the past months - Ivan Toney.

However, when the transfer window neared its close, it was Mbeumo not Toney getting their attention.

Per The Mail, the Gunners considered putting in a bid, but eventually changed their mind.

Instead of going for Mbeumo, who would have cost a hefty fee, they chose to loan Raheem Sterling from Chelsea.

Sterling will provide them with attacking depth, as he can play through the middle and on either flank.
