Tottenham have started talks to sign Brentford forward Yoane Wissa, journalist Graeme Bailey has claimed.
The Europa League winners are looking to bolster their attacking options further after agreeing a £55m deal for West Ham star Mohammed Kudus, and have identified Wissa as their next target.
Spurs are hoping to reunite the 28-year-old forward with his former Brentford coach Thomas Frank, who is believed to be ‘pushing’ for Wissa’s arrival in North London this summer.
Brentford are said to be demanding around £50m for the Congolese international, who has now entered the final year of his contract at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Tottenham Keen on Yoane Wissa’s Arrival
Facing competition from Premier League clubs
According to Bailey, Tottenham could face competition from Newcastle United for Wissa this summer, as the Magpies are also believed to be in talks with the 28-year-old’s representatives.
Eddie Howe’s side are considering Wissa as a ‘strong alternative’ to Joao Pedro, who joined Chelsea earlier this month despite long-standing interest from Tyneside.
Wissa is said to be keen on leaving Brentford this summer, although he has yet to indicate a preferred destination.
The ‘extraordinary’ forward, who joined the Bees from Lorient in 2021, enjoyed his best Premier League season in 2024/25, scoring 19 goals and providing five assists in 35 appearances.

Tottenham are now close to sealing a move for Kudus, having agreed a package worth £55m with West Ham.
The Ghana international will sign a six-year contract with the North London club and become Spurs’ first signing of a new era under Frank.
