Brentford's bulldozing attacker Bryan Mbeumo has spoken about his life as a Premier League player.

Mbeumo has been with the Bees since he left Troyes four years ago, but he is now thrust into the spotlight.

The absence of Ivan Toney until January means a lot of the goalscoring burden is on Mbeumo until the mid-season point.

“It's going to be hard [without Ivan]. We're going to miss his character, his energy, his leadership. I message him to ask him if he's good. He's doing well," said Mbuemo to the Evening Standard.

“But we have the players to replace Ivan. Everybody needs to take responsibility now."

“To be one of the best you have to assume the pressure that comes onto you," he added.

“If I have to take this position then I will take it."
