“Mind-Blowing £50M Superstar DESPERATE to Snub Newcastle for Tottenham in SHOCK Summer Move!”
Brentford striker Yoane Wissa reportedly favours a move to Tottenham Hotspur over Newcastle United this summer, according to talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook.
Tottenham are actively looking to strengthen their attack under new manager Thomas Frank.
The club has already secured Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, while a potential deal for Morgan Gibbs-White remains in limbo due to ongoing legal proceedings, despite Spurs being ready to meet his £60 million release clause.
Adding a striker is now a key focus for the North London side, and Wissa, who previously played under Frank at Brentford, has emerged as a prime target.
However, Spurs face competition from Newcastle, who are also pursuing the DR Congo international after pulling out of a move for Hugo Ekitike.
Wissa, described as “extraordinary,” had a standout 2024/25 campaign, scoring 19 goals in 35 appearances and finishing as Brentford’s top scorer.
As a result, the Bees have placed a £50 million valuation on the 28-year-old to deter suitors.
Despite Newcastle’s efforts to secure his signature, reports suggest Wissa prefers a reunion with Frank at Tottenham over a move to St James’ Park.
This development is a major boost for Spurs, especially after missing out on Brentford teammate Bryan Mbeumo, who is pushing for a move to Manchester United.
Frank is determined to reshape the Spurs squad as he prepares for Champions League football next season.
Improving their league performance is also a priority, following a disappointing 17th-place finish last term.
