Club Career
Troyes AC
A winger, Mbeumo joined Troyes AC at the age of 14 and graduated to the club's reserve team in the 2016–17 season. He was a part of the Troyes U19 team which won the 2018 Coupe Gambardella and scored twice in the final at the Stade de France. Mbeumo made his senior debut for the club in a 1–0 Ligue 1 win over FC Metz on 17 February 2018 and made three further appearances during the 2017–18 season, which culminated in relegation to Ligue 2. The relegation allowed Mbeumo to break into the first team squad and he made 40 appearances and scored 11 goals during the 2018–19 season, which ended with defeat in the Ligue 2 promotion play-off semi-finals. He departed the Stade de l'Aube in August 2019, after making 46 appearances and scoring 12 goals for the club.

On 5 August 2019, Mbeumo moved to England to join Championship club Brentford on a five-year contract for a club record £5.8 million fee. He made 47 appearances and scored 16 goals during the 2019–20 season, which ended with defeat in the 2020 Championship play-off Final.
