Premier league side Nottingham Forest, has reportedly submitted a £22 million offer to Brentford in an attempt to secure the services of Congo striker Yoane Wissa.

The bid for Wissa comes as Nottingham Forest prepares for the expected exit of Taiwo Awoniyi, who is reportedly being pursued by multiple Premier League and European clubs, including West Ham United.

According to football correspondent David Ornstein, although Nottingham Forest’s bid for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa may be turned down, the Premier League club remains keen on signing the striker.

“Nottingham Forest submit offer to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford. Bid worth £22m – significantly below Brentford FC valuation of 28yo Congo striker; will not be accepted. Nottingham Forest retain interest and also considering alternative options,” Ornstein revealed on his official X page.

Yoane Wissa is having a standout campaign with 11 Premier League goals and 2 assists, marking his most prolific season since joining Brentford from Lorient, and notably, his second consecutive season with double-digit goals in the top flight.

In contrast, Taiwo Awoniyi has struggled to make an impact this season, scoring just one goal in all competitions and starting only two Premier League matches, largely due to Chris Wood’s impressive form limiting his playing opportunities.

Taiwo Awoniyi will be keen to find a swift and suitable solution to his current situation, with the ultimate goal of joining a new club that will offer him the consistent game time he desperately needs to revive his career.
