The Cameroon international had an injury-plagued 2023/24 season, but he still registered nine goals and six assists.

He has started the current season brightly with three goals in as many games.

It is now reported that Arsenal have been collecting plenty of data on Mbeumo and believe he can be a future star.

The Gunners are eyeing a strong competitor to Bukayo Saka and Mbeumo is considered as a potential transfer candidate.

Mikel Arteta 's side are not contemplating an approach, but could do so if Mbeumo has an outstanding league season.

For the time being, Arsenal have signed Raheem Sterling on loan from Chelsea to provide cover for Saka on the right flank.

Sterling, who can also play on the left wing or up front, is keen to prove his credentials after falling out-of-favour at Chelsea .

He could make his debut against Tottenham Hotspur next week.
