While Mbuemo is being pursued by the Old Trafford side, former Brentford boss Thomas Frank is looking to bring Wissa to Tottenham as part of his summer rebuild.
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.
Will Yoane Wissa see out the final year of his contract with Brentford? Nothing is certain yet, especially as the Congolese striker is attracting a lot of interest this summer. After delivering some stellar performances last season,
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.
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.

Tottenham have been told they must pay at least £50million to sign Brentford forward Yoane Wissa. Spurs are looking for attacking reinforcements and have identified Wissa as an option after seeing a £50m bid rejected by West Ham Mohammed Kudus.
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.
Phil: I'm not too sure on Wissa. Great player but at 29 and with a hefty price tag, he doesn't fit with the players we usually sign. However, it it happens, that seals the fate of Richarlison and Son Heung-min.
