Overview

• Yoane Wissa returned from Brentford’s Portugal camp to London for negotiations with director of football Phil Giles.
• Newcastle United’s opening £25m proposal was rebuffed as the Bees set their asking price at no less than £50m.
• Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest continue to pursue the 28-year-old striker and are preparing improved bids.
• With one year remaining on his contract and a club option for 2027, Brentford face a limited window to sell Wissa while retaining leverage.
• After netting 19 Premier League goals last season, Wissa has signaled his ambition to join a bigger club, heightening the urgency of a move.
