Yoane Wissa ‘set for immediate Tottenham exit’ after latest transfer news
Tottenham need to be wary about pursuing a deal for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa this summer.
With a Champions League campaign ahead, Tottenham will be fully aware of the importance held in the summer transfer window.
If Spurs are to compete domestically, several incomings will be needed in North London, and the hire of Thomas Frank may aid their attempts to achieve that.
Amid links to Bryan Mbuemo, it seems as though Frank is keen on reuniting with some of his former players, and he may not be the only one.
Tottenham could sign Wissa from Brentford
Tottenham have already been linked with several new players this summer, though as it stands, they have yet to open their chequebook to seal any brand-new arrivals, with Mathys Tel the only incoming following his loan spell last season.
However, the expectation is that that will change soon, and Brentford’s Wissa has been linked with a move to North London.
| Season | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| 2024/25 | 39 | 20 | 4 |
| 2023/24 | 36 | 12 | 3 |
| 2022/23 | 40 | 7 | 3 |
| 2021/22 | 34 | 10 | 1 |
| TOTAL | 149 | 49 | 11 |
After such an impressive Premier League campaign, Wissa would likely be a good fit for Spurs, but his form will almost guarantee him a call-up to the DR Congo national team when they travel to AFCON in December.
Should that be the case, his arrival at Spurs would be followed by a near-immediate exit, and Tottenham will need to be aware of that if they opt to look further into a deal.
AFCON could disrupt Spurs plans
Even forgetting about Wissa, Spurs could lose several players to AFCON when it gets underway over Christmas, and they need to ensure they have the depth to cope with that if it is to be the case.
A lack of depth was the main reason behind their failures domestically last season, and they will not want to see a repeat of that under Frank next time out.
With pre-season edging ever closer and the Premier League campaign less than two months away, Tottenham are in desperate need of new additions
