Brentford make last-ditch attempt to keep Yoane Wissa but striker wants exit amid Tottenham & Newcastle transfer interest

<p><a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cwygj0djy85o" target="_blank"><em>BBC Sport </em>reports</a> that the Bees have attempted to tie the 28-year-old down to a new deal, as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-close-in-on-bryan-mbeumo-agree-fee-brentford-iron-out-final-transfer-details/bltd658440f3774223b#cs65553579f7117c21" target="_blank">Bryan Mbeumo's move to Manchester United</a> is expected to be completed in the coming days. Wissa has just 12 months left on his deal, and has expressed his intention to pursue a move elsewhere.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/newcastle-sights-yoane-wissa-pulling-out-hugo-ekitike-race-knock-on-effect-man-utd/blt2d1bb26ba9a3a245" target="_blank">Newcastle</a>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/tottenham-brentford-striker-yoanne-wissa-thomas-frank-raid-former-club/blt26bae99e057099c5" target="_blank">Tottenham</a> and Nottingham Forest have all been linked with the player. All three clubs can offer Wissa European football next term. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Brentford have endured a summer of upheaval, losing manager Thomas Frank to Tottenham, first-choice keeper <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/xabi-alonso-mark-flekken-agreed-bayer-leverkusen-transfer-real-madrid--erik-ten-hag-sign/bltc6e7a4fc28169c08" target="_blank">Mark Flekken departing for Bayer Leverkusen</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/christian-norgaard-arsenal-confirm-arrival-midfielder-brentford-transfer/blt036d678c59be6854" target="_self">Christian Norgaard moving across London to Arsenal</a>. Tying Wissa down to a deal would present some continuity for newly-appointed boss Keith Andrews. However, with the Congolese forward turning 29 in September, now may the be only time Brentford can command a fee approaching his £40m valuation.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Ultimately, the player's dwindling contract, advanced age and reluctance to sale points to one outcome. Wissa will likely leave west London, meaning the Bees stand to lose two 20-goal attackers in one window. As for the player, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/tottenham-target-yoane-wissa-bryan-mbeumo-arrival-thomas-frank-brentford/bltb2f8fff126ffd0b2" target="_blank">could his relationship with Frank give Spurs a leg up</a> over the competition for his signature? </p>
