Yoane Wissa development as Tottenham battle Premier League duo for striker

Brentford have made a move to tie down Yoane Wissa to a new deal as Tottenham Hotspur and two other Premier League clubs continue to circle over the striker.

Over the last few weeks, a number of outlets have backed Tottenham to step up their pursuit of Wissa and reunite the striker with Thomas Frank.

It has been alleged that Wissa is keen on a move to Spurs, but the North London club are expected to face plenty of competition for the Brentford star.

The fiercest competition is expected to come from Newcastle United, who are now stepping up their interest in Wissa, and like Spurs, the Magpies can offer the player Champions League football.

Wissa has given a clear response to new Brentford contract

According to BBC Sport, the Bees made attempts to tie the centre-forward to a new contract after losing Bryan Mbeumo to Man United.

The West London club are determined not to lose both Mbeumo and Wissa in the same window, but the latter has now made it clear that he will not be putting pen to paper on a new deal.

The 28-year-old has decided to leave the Gtech Community Stadium amidst interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.

With Wissa not intending to sign a new deal, it is asserted that Brentford may be forced to sell if they receive an offer in the region of £40m.

Has Tottenham’s interest in Yoane Wissa cooled?

Some sources have revealed over recent days that Brentford are surprised that Tottenham have not made a move for Wissa yet.

Meanwhile, journalist Tom Barclay said recently that Wissa is no longer seen as a priority by Spurs after they landed Mohammed Kudus from West Ham.

Additionally, Thomas Frank has also hinted that Tottenham are unlikely to sign another striker this summer, and he admitted that he rates Richarlison highly.

However, the Dane has sent mixed messages as Richarlison was left out of Tottenham’s matchday squad against Reading on Saturday.
