Before making the switch from Ligue 2 Troyes in the summer of 2019, Mbeumo confessed that he had very little knowledge about the Bees.
He told the Telegraph, "To be completely honest, I had never heard of Brentford before they contacted me.
"But when I met Thomas (Frank, manager), I think he knew where I wanted to go.
"They had seen 28 of my 35 games in Ligue 2. They really wanted me."
Mbeumo has a deal with Brentford to 2026.
