Transfer market: Nottingham Forest launches operation Yoane Wissa

With just one year left on his contract with Brentford, Yoane Wissa could well be on the move to a new English club as early as this summer. Among the potential destinations, Nottingham Forest stands out as a very serious contender.

After an impressive campaign with the Bees in the Premier League—19 goals and 4 assists in 35 matches—Yoane Wissa has caught the eye of the Nottingham Forest board, who are ramping up efforts to sign him. According to a local source, an offer was submitted to Brentford on the evening of Friday, June 13. A bid in the region of €30–40 million could persuade Brentford to let him go. For now, the two sides have yet to reach an agreement, but a deal could be struck swiftly. Forest is said to be ready to match the financial demands set by the club.

Tottenham also monitoring Yoane Wissa

While the player's camp has shown great enthusiasm about a move to Nottingham Forest, things could change in the coming days. Tottenham and their new manager, Franck Thomas, have also expressed interest. The British press is already speculating about a reunion between Yoane Wissa, Bryan Mbeumo—also on the Spurs' radar—and the Danish coach at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The prospect of joining his former coach at Spurs could prompt Yoane Wissa to reconsider his ambitions.
