The 28-year-old has also been linked with Tottenham, but Standard Sport knows that a move to the north London club is highly improbable at this time. Forest are looking to add more goals to their attack to relieve pressure on Chris Wood and keep their Champions League campaign on track following Bournemouth’s 5-0 thumping last weekend.

The third-placed club is willing to pay Wissa a significant increase, but has yet to match Brentford’s valuation. Wissa is content with the Bees and is unlikely to force a move. The DR Congo international’s deal runs until 2026, with Brentford having the option to extend it for another year.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank dismissed the possibility of selling Wissa last week, saying, “Good luck – that will not happen!” Wissa has 11 goals in 20 Premier League games this season, continuing his lethal relationship with Bryan Mbeumo, who has 14 in 23. Brentford anticipates strong interest in both players during the summer window, but do not want to sell either midway through the season. (edited)
