Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa this summer.
However, Manchester United could now jeopardise their chances of signing the Congo International. According to a report from Football Insider, Brentford will only sanction the departure of one attacker this summer, and Manchester United are closing in on Bryan Mbeumo.
It seems highly unlikely that they will sanction the departure of Wissa as well.
Tottenham want to sign the 28-year-old this summer, and it will be a major blow for them. It remains to be seen whether they decide to move on to other targets.
Tottenham need Yoane Wissa
They need another reliable striker who can score goals consistently. Dominic Solanke was inconsistent last season, and Wissa would have been a quality addition.
He scored 20 goals in all competitions for Brentford last season, and there is no doubt that he has the qualities needed to compete at the highest level. The move to Tottenham could have been ideal for him. He would have experienced Champions League football with them, and he could have reunited with Thomas Frank at the North London club as well.
Wissa to miss out on a big move?
This could be his final opportunity to join a big club, and the player could be disappointed if he is denied a move to Tottenham. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
It is understandable why Brentford have taken such a stance. They will not want to weaken the squad severely during the summer window by selling multiple key players. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can convince them with a lucrative proposal.
Tottenham need to improve their squad if they want to fight for major trophies next season. Signing a reliable striker like Wissa could make a huge difference for them.
