Africa-Press – Lesotho. Nottingham Forest have stepped up their summer transfer plans by submitting a bid to Brentford for forward Yoane Wissa, though the offer falls well short of the Bees’ valuation.
Sources close to the negotiations reveal that Forest’s proposal is below £25 million, significantly lower than Brentford’s £50 million asking price for the 27-year-old Congolese international.
Wissa has been a key figure for Brentford, contributing crucial goals and providing versatility across the front line. His pace, direct running, and eye for goal have made him one of Brentford’s trusted attacking weapons in their Premier League campaigns.
Nottingham Forest, eager to bolster their attacking options, view Wissa as a player who can add dynamism and creativity to their forward line. However, Brentford are in a strong negotiating position and are under no pressure to sell unless their valuation is met.
Talks between the clubs are expected to continue, but there is currently a significant gap in the two sides’ expectations.
Forest may need to substantially increase their offer or explore alternative targets if they are to secure Wissa’s signature ahead of the new season.
For now, Brentford remain firm on their stance, determined to retain one of their prized assets unless a suitable bid arrives.
