Tottenham Hotspur will unlikely hijack Newcastle United’s move for 28-year-old Brentford striker Yoane Wissa in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Yoane Wissa is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The Lilywhites are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 28-year-old Brentford striker has been a target for the North London outfit.

While Thomas Frank has asked Tottenham to reunite him with the African attacker, the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League winners will unlikely secure his services in the summer transfer window. The update should boost Newcastle United’s prospects, with the Tyneside outfit keen on signing Wissa from Brentford. The Bees want around £50 million to part ways with their star striker.

Brentford and a frustrating summer

Brentford will face a tall order to remain in the Premier League after losing Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo, and Christian Norgaard in the last few weeks. But the West London outfit may not be done, as Yoane Wissa is keen on embarking on a new adventure before the summer transfer window shuts down.

The 28-year-old DR Congo has come leaps and bounds since arriving from FC Lorient in August 2021, amassing 49 goals and 13 assists in nearly 150 appearances thus far for Brentford. However, a summer departure is on the cards, as Wissa wants to join a club that can offer him UEFA Champions League football. Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.

What next for Yoane Wissa?

Newcastle United’s interest in Yoane Wissa is understandable. The Magpies are scrambling for a striker amid uncertainties surrounding Alexander Isak’s long-term future. Additionally, Benjamin Sesko’s decision to join Manchester United has forced the Tyneside outfit to dip into the market for an alternative. So, Wissa is a viable target for Newcastle United.

As for Tottenham Hotspur, Dominic Solanke struggled to make his mark in his debut season at the North London club. While the Lilywhites will expect their record signing to step up in the upcoming campaign, a versatile attacker like Wissa is an option worth considering. However, while Thomas Frank wants a reunion with the Brentford striker, Tottenham will unlikely launch a summer move.

Meanwhile, Brentford will demand around £50 million to part ways with the 28-year-old DR Congo international. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle United will fork out £50 million to sign Wissa in the summer transfer window.
