Join Wolfie on Forest Fan TV for a transfer update as Nottingham Forest make a move for Brentford striker Yoane Wissa! Africafoot recently reported that the Reds have lodged a “secret bid” for the 28-year-old DR Congo international, who’s been in scintillating form with 19 Premier League goals last season. Brentford are holding out for a fee close to £35m, while new Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank—formerly of Brentford—has also entered the race, adding extra spice to this transfer saga. Wolfie dissects the details, exploring whether Forest can outmanoeuvre Spurs and secure Wissa’s signature to bolster Nuno Espírito Santo’s attack for the Europa Conference League.
The competition is heating up, with Wissa’s versatility and proven goal-scoring record (41 goals in 133 appearances for Brentford) making him a prime target for both clubs. Forest’s interest aligns with their ambition to strengthen their frontline, especially with Chris Wood’s age and Taiwo Awoniyi’s inconsistent form in mind. Wolfie breaks down if £35m is a fair price for a player who’s also caught Frank’s eye at Spurs, with Tottenham’s European football allure, this could be a tough negotiation.
Plus, exciting news from the Club World Cup as soon-to-be Forest players Jair Cunha and Igor Jesus both found the net for Botafogo, boosting their profiles ahead of their anticipated moves to the City Ground. With Jesus already a Brazil international and Cunha showing promise, Wolfie reflects on how these signings could shape the squad alongside a potential Wissa coup. Drop your thoughts in the comments—should Forest splash £35m on Wissa, or look elsewhere?
