Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo says it feels “crazy” to have been nominated for the Premier League’s player of the season award.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Cameroon international has scored 18 goals and provided seven assists in 36 league outings for the Bees, who are chasing a place in European competition for the first time.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t really expect it,” Mbeumo told BBC Sport Africa.<\/p>\n

“I know I have [had] a good season, but I was surprised when I’ve seen my name there.”<\/p>\n

Mbeumo is one of eight players on the shortlist for the award,<\/a> with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who leads the top flight scoring charts, chief among the other contenders.<\/p>\n

Salah’s team-mates Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch, Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood, Newcastle striker Alexander Isak and Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice round off the list.<\/p>\n

Mbeumo joined Brentford from Troyes in August 2019<\/a> and has played a vital role in turning the west London club from a Championship side into contenders for a European spot.<\/p>\n

He has netted 40 Premier League goals in all, making him Brentford’s second-highest goalscorer since promotion.<\/p>\n

“This club bring me everything,” Mbeumo said.<\/p>\n

“They gave me confidence and I feel very happy to achieve this season here. With the group we have, it is just such a good life here.<\/p>\n

“Players other than me could have deserved a nomination as well. That shows that the club is improving a lot.”<\/p>\n

The Bees sit eighth in the table – a finish which could secure a place in the Europa Conference League next season – and boss Thomas Frank is in the running for the Premier League manager of the year award.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
