Brentford will reportedly demand over £50 million to part ways with 28-year-old DR Congo international Yoane Wissa this summer amid his links with Tottenham Hotspur.
According to a report by Football Insider, Yoane Wissa is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The Lilywhites are eager to reinforce their offensive unit by signing a striker in the summer transfer window. So, the 28-year-old Brentford attacker has emerged as a target for the North London outfit.
In addition, the French-born centre-forward is a target for Nottingham Forest, with the Tricky Trees already failing with a bid to secure his services. However, the Bees want to price the suitors off Wissa’s trail, and they will demand over £50 million to part ways with him in the summer transfer window.
Yoane Wissa and his impact at Brentford
Yoane Wissa has established himself as one of the most underrated strikers in the Premier League since joining Brentford from FC Lorient in August 2021. The Villeneuve-Saint-George native has seen his stock soar since Ivan Toney’s spell on the sidelines started a few years ago. The English international striker’s departure has helped him become an undisputed first-choice starter for Brentford.
The 28-year-old enjoyed an excellent 2024/25 campaign, amassing 20 goals and five assists in 39 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, the DR Congo international’s progress has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs. Tottenham Hotspur will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Move across London on the horizon?
Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Yoane Wissa is somewhat perplexing but understandable. The Lilywhites are combing the market for a striker this summer after Dominic Solanke struggled in his debut season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In addition, Son Heung-min faces an uncertain future at the North London club amid his advancing age..
So, Wissa, a versatile attacker, has emerged as a viable target for Tottenham, as his qualities will help him play alongside Solanke in the final third. In addition, the North London outfit will face stiff competition from Nottingham Forest for the French-born attacker’s signature. Meanwhile, they know how much Brentford will demand to part ways with the player.
The West London outfit will demand over £50 million to sell Wissa, hoping to price his suitors off a move with the price tag. However, the 28-year-old DR Congo international is open to joining Tottenham, and it will be interesting to see if he can secure a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer transfer window.
