Brentford braced for Yoane Wissa offer as three Premier League clubs eye transfer
Newcastle are set to bid in excess of £30million for Yoane Wissa, talkSPORT understands. Tottenham Hotspur are also keen, but Brentford would rather keep Wissa, who they have already quoted Nottingham Forest £50m. Wissa could become the latest exit from west LondonGetty The forward, who has already been the subject of a rejected £25m bid by Newcastle, is pushing for a move and left the Bees’ pre-season tour of Portugal amid interest from Newcastle. talkSPORT previously reported that Brentford were ready to rebuff all offers for the DR Congo international. Wissa, who is open to joining either Newcastle or Spurs, has been an excellent talent for Brentford since his £8.5m move from French side Lorient in 2021. He joined the club just after their promotion to the Premier League and has gone on to make club history across his four seasons. The 28-year-old has scored 45 goals in 137 top-flight appearances – the most ever for Brentford. Wissa formed a strong partnership with Bryan Mbeumo as they both scored 20 goals a piece in all competitions last season. However, Mbeumo has completed a move to Manchester United worth £65m with £6m add-ons following weeks of negotiations. His departure has delivered a huge blow to Brentford’s attack, and Wissa would only add to their woes so far this summer. Christian Norgaard has been another sale with a £15m switch to Arsenal, whilst Mark Flekken has signed with Bayer Leverkusen. Head coach Thomas Frank, who got Brentford promoted to the Premier League, is another name involved in the exodus. Wissa has plenty of Premier League sides showing an interestgetty The Dane is now at Tottenham following his seven-year stay in west London. Despite big-name exits, with Wissa potentially next to come, Brentford have been active in terms of incomings this summer. Dutch attacking midfielder Antoni Milambo joined from Feyenoord for around £16m. Michael Kayode has left Fiorentina and completed a permanent move worth almost £15m following his initial loan spell at right-back. Brenford also welcomed goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher from Liverpool in an £18m deal. Winger Romelle Donovan is another addition from Birmingham City for around £3m, whilst Jordan Henderson has joined as a free agent.
