Yoane Wissa is pushing to leave Brentford this summer, talkSPORT understands. The Bees have rejected an offer from Nottingham Forest for Wissa, but talks between the two clubs are ongoing.
Leeds United suffered relegation the summer after selling both Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha, while Aston Villa went down just after letting both Fabian Delph and Christian Benteke leave. Going further back, Newcastle went down after losing the likes of James Milner, Shay Given and Charles N’Zogbia in the same year.
Tottenham are exploring a move for Brentford's Yoane Wissa in a bid to bolster their attacking line-up. Only six sides scored more Premier League goals than Spurs' 64 last season, which suggests it is not their most significant problem.
Nottingham Forest have renewed their interest in Brentford striker Yoane Wissa; Brentford rejected a bid in January from Forest worth around £22m; Wissa joined Brentford from Lorient in 2021 for around £7.
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey has confirmed that Nottingham Forest have rekindled their interest in Yoane Wissa in the wake of losing Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White. However, Brentford insist they want £50million for the DR Congo international.
The player’s familiarity with Thomas Frank, now in charge at Spurs, is significant. With Wissa’s contract situation and Tottenham’s need to increase squad depth, this remains a watchable story in the coming weeks. Kudus’ arrival may energise the attack, but Wissa still fits a tactical and strategic purpose.
