Arsenal signs Demiane Agustien on pro deal while Manchester United completes £71m transfer of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford.
Arsenal have officially announced the signing of Dutch midfielder Demiane Agustien, who has penned his first professional contract with the club. The talented youngster has joined the senior ranks after an impressive run in the under-18 Premier League, where he recorded 16 goal contributions over the past two seasons while playing for Derby County.
The North London club made the announcement on their website over the weekend, confirming Agustien’s transition from youth prospect to full-time professional. Speaking on the club’s platform, Agustien expressed his excitement, stating, “I’m just very pleased, obviously playing for a big club. Can’t wait to get started and play for Arsenal.”
Agustien’s arrival is part of Arsenal’s strategy to build a strong midfield for the future by investing in young, promising talent. With his record of goals and assists at youth level, the Dutch midfielder is seen as a bright prospect who could rise quickly through the ranks at the Emirates Stadium.
Meanwhile, in another significant development, Manchester United have completed the signing of forward Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. The news was shared by transfer expert Ben Jacobs through his official X account on Sunday.
Jacobs confirmed that Mbeumo has signed a five-year contract with an option to extend for an additional year. The transfer fee stands at £65 million plus £6 million in add-ons, making the total deal worth £71 million.
Mbeumo’s move to Old Trafford strengthens United’s attack and is seen as part of the club’s broader plan to reinforce their frontline ahead of the new Premier League season. Known for his pace, versatility, and goal-scoring ability, Mbeumo is expected to bring more depth and creativity to Erik ten Hag’s squad.
As both clubs finalize their respective summer transfer business, fans are eager to see how these signings will influence the dynamics of the 2025/2026 Premier League campaign. Arsenal continue to bet on young potential, while Manchester United are investing in proven performers to push for titles.
