One Premier League side are now preparing for the possibility of losing their star man this summer after Tottenham Hotspur and others registered an interest in him ahead of the summer.
Adding reinforcement to their forward line is expected to be one of Spurs’ priorities this summer, with some big names expected to depart.
Reports indicate that Richarlison could be on his way out of Tottenham this summer, while rumours also continue to suggest that Heung-min Son’s ten-year spell at Spurs could come to an end.
Additionally, Timo Werner will return to RB Leipzig when his loan spell comes to an end while it is unclear if Tottenham will activate the option to buy Mathys Tel.
A new report has now suggested that Spurs could solve their issues in attack by turning to a striker who has found the back of the net 15 times in the Premier League this season.
Brentford braced for Tottenham offers for Yoane Wissa
This update comes from The Standard, who say that Yoane Wissa’s impressive performances at the Gtech Community Stadium have brought him to the attention of Spurs.
Spurs opened talks for a late Wissa deal in January before eventually landing Mathys Tel. Tottenham are also said to be in the race to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford this summer.

The report confirms that Tottenham expressed an interest in Wissa in January, while Nottingham Forest had an offer of £22m knocked back, with both clubs potentially set to return with fresh approaches this summer for the Congo international.
In fact, the outlet adds that Brentford are ‘braced for offers’ for Wissa as well as fellow forward, Bryan Mbeumo, with both players attracting interest from several top sides – including Tottenham Hotspur.

Interestingly, the report explains that the Bees are determined to keep hold of Wissa and Mbeumo, pointing out that Thomas Frank has also said publicly that the pair will not be sold.
However, internally at the club, their stance is not that straightforward, with the West London side resigned to the likelihood of interest in the pair resurfacing.
As a result, the club have already started succession planning for Wissa and Mbeumo, with the publication adding that a high enough offer could prompt the club to sell either player.
