Brentford are ready to play hardball over Yoane Wissa this summer, with the forward’s price tag now revealed following Tottenham’s interest in the Congo international.
It was reported shortly after Tottenham signed Mohammed Kudus this summer for £55million from West Ham United that Spurs could also move for Yoane Wissa.
Still, no official contact has been made between Tottenham and Brentford over a deal for the 28-year-old forward, although Spurs’ interest remains strong and ongoing.
Tottenham are not alone in the race, with several Premier League sides keeping close tabs on Wissa, including Nottingham Forest.
Brentford set Yoane Wissa price amid Tottenham transfer interest
Football Insider has now revealed Brentford’s valuation of Yoane Wissa this summer, following interest from both Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest.
The outlet reports that Brentford are expected to make it difficult for clubs to land the DR Congo international, with a hefty price tag placed on his head to ward off suitors.
It is understood that Nottingham Forest have already submitted an offer worth £22 million for the attacker, but that proposal has been rejected by the West London outfit.

According to the report, any club hoping to sign Wissa this summer will have to pay over £50 million to tempt Brentford into selling.
Spurs monitoring Wissa as Thomas Frank reunion tempts forward
Tottenham, who remain firmly interested in the 28-year-old, are yet to lodge a formal bid and continue to monitor the situation closely.
Wissa is believed to be open to reuniting with former Brentford boss Thomas Frank this summer, which would undoubtedly boost Spurs’ hopes of landing him.
While that would represent a promising turn for Tottenham, the fact that Wissa has just one year left on his contract makes Brentford’s £50 million valuation difficult to justify, and it remains to be seen if Daniel Levy and the board will sanction such a fee.
