Brentford's dynamic forward Yoane Wissa has emerged as a hot commodity in the January transfer window, with Newcastle United and West Ham United both vying for his signature. The 27-year-old has been in fine form this season, catching the eye of several top-flight clubs.
Premier League Rivals Lock Horns for Wissa
The Congolese international has become a key player for Thomas Frank's side, contributing crucial goals and assists. His versatility across the frontline makes him an attractive prospect for clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options during the winter window.
Newcastle's Search for Firepower
Eddie Howe's Magpies are particularly keen, having struggled with injuries to key attacking players this season. Wissa's Premier League experience and proven goal-scoring ability make him an ideal candidate to bolster Newcastle's European ambitions.
West Ham's Forward Thinking
David Moyes' Hammers are equally determined, viewing Wissa as perfect competition for Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio. The East London club's participation in European competition this season means squad depth is paramount.
Brentford's Stance on Potential Deal
The Bees are understandably reluctant to lose one of their star performers mid-season. However, with financial fair play considerations and the player's growing reputation, they may be tempted by a substantial offer.
Wissa's current contract runs until 2025, giving Brentford a strong negotiating position. Any deal would likely require a fee in excess of £20 million to persuade the West London club to part with their prized asset.
