Breaking: Forest and Spurs in Race for Attacker as Brentford Hold Out for £80m
Tottenham Push for Wissa Amid Brentford Resistance
Spurs Refuse to Ease Off in Their Pursuit
Tottenham’s recruitment drive continues at full throttle as they turn their gaze back to Yoane Wissa, Brentford’s prolific forward. With a rejected bid of around £20million from Nottingham Forest for the same player already in the background, Spurs know they will have to dig deeper to prise the 28-year-old away from west London.
Forest’s January offer of £22million was swiftly turned down, and even their latest offer comes in short. Spurs, who made enquiries earlier this summer, were told that “a fee of at least £50m would be required.” Talks have since gone quiet, but according to Standard Sport, “the 28-year-old remains a target.”
Tottenham’s Summer Rebuild Gains Momentum
Spurs have been busy. The club has already splashed £51million to make loan deals for Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso permanent. The addition of 18-year-old Japanese defender Kota Takai for £5million reflects a blend of future-proofing and squad reinforcement.
Mohamed Kudus’ arrival from West Ham for £55million was confirmed on Thursday. On top of that, Morgan Gibbs-White is “set to undergo a medical at Hotspur Way after his £60m release clause was triggered.” That is serious investment, and Daniel Levy’s ambition to back Ange Postecoglou’s successor appears crystal clear.
Forest Reinvest and Reignite Interest
Nottingham Forest, fresh off a looming £60million windfall for Gibbs-White, aim to reinvest promptly. Combining that fee with the £52million Newcastle are spending on Anthony Elanga, Forest’s attack is in for an aggressive facelift. That includes reigniting their pursuit of Wissa.

In a summer dominated by power plays, valuations and strategy, Brentford’s hand may yet be forced
Our View – EPL Index Analysis
This feels like the Tottenham many of us have been waiting for. Aggressive, smart and willing to spend where it matters. The Kudus signing is top-tier and if we get Morgan Gibbs-White over the line, that’s another Premier League-proven game-changer.
