Tottenham Hotspur may have to speed up their pursuit of Yoane Wissa if they wish to land the Brentford star, as it has now emerged that a fellow Premier League side are now turning their attention to the striker.
Thomas Frank has already added firepower to the Tottenham Hotspur attack this summer, with the Lilywhites securing the permanent signing of Mathys Tel and swooping for Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United.
However, with Richarlison continuing to be linked with an exit from Spurs, the club may need to land a number nine to offer competition to Dominic Solanke.
Over the last few weeks, several outlets have claimed that Tottenham could push ahead with a move for Yoane Wissa, with Frank reportedly keen on bringing the striker to N17.
Premier League giants may enter the race to land Wissa
However, The Daily Mail have now suggested that Spurs could soon have competition to contend with from Liverpool for Wissa’s signature.
Tottenham fans need not panic just yet as the outlet explains that the Premier League champions are currently prioritising a move for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak or Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike.
However, the Reds have reportedly identified alternatives in case they are unable to get a deal for the Swede over the line, with Wissa being among the names on their wishlist.

It has been reported that Brentford are desperate to stop Wissa from joining Spurs, with their new head coach, Keith Andrews, seeing the centre-forward as a vital part of his plans.
However, it was revealed by talkSPORT a few days ago that Wissa is keen on reuniting with Frank at Tottenham this summer.
The outlet claimed that despite attracting interest from the likes of Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, a move to N17 is the DR Congo international’s preferred option.
