Football Insider has been told by Stefan Borson Nottingham Forest could sell their star players to avoid a points deduction blow.
Wissa, who has 11 goals in 19 Premier League matches this season, is highly valued in west London and has proven a worthy successor to Ivan Toney. The Bees will not accept bids in the £22m price range Forest have reportedly offered, despite the 28-year-old having just 18 months to run on his current contract.
Nottingham Forest have submitted a bid for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa. That is according to a report from The Athletic on Tuesday which details the lodging of an offer of £22m for the 28-year-old. Wissa has 18 months remaining on his contract with the Bees, who value him higher than the £22m that has been received.
Nottingham Forest have made an approach to sign Brentford forward Yoane Wissa. The Bees value Wissa at far beyond the £22m which was reportedly offered by Forest and will not accept bids in that price range despite their striker having just 18 months left to run on his current contract.
The report by David Ornstein on X (formerly Twitter) states that Forest have submitted a bid for Wissa, in the region of £22million as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of a Champions League push. However, their bid is 'significantly' below Brentford's valuation of the 28-year-old, and it will not be accepted.
Brentford's Yoane Wissa is wanted by two Premier League high flyers this month. The likes of Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, both in the top four, are vying for his signature. Per The Telegraph, any potential move may depend on a domino effect of other transfers.
