Wissa Leaves Brentford Camp Amid Transfer Interest

During the pre-season, Brentford forward Yoane Wissa has left the club’s training camp in Portugal and returned to London, signalling uncertainty over his future. The 28-year-old DR Congo international is set to hold talks with Brentford director of football Phil Giles as interest mounts from Premier League rivals Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Nottingham Forest. All three clubs are in European competitions next season, making them attractive destinations.

Wissa, who has one year left on his contract (with an option for a further year), reportedly prefers a move away despite Brentford’s efforts to extend his deal. Wissa has been unsettled by the transfer speculation and could rejoin the team when they return to London as if he remains at the club. The situation is delicate, especially after Brentford already lost key attacker Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United in a £65m deal.
