Forest have reignited their interest in Wissa after seeing a bid worth around £22m rejected in January. Their latest offer falls below that figure. Spurs enquired about Wissa earlier this summer and were told by Brentford that a fee of at least £50m would be required.

Brentford are facing a task to keep their two forward stars Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo with Tottenham and Man Utd circling. 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.
