Yoane Wissa posted a goodbye message to fans amid uncertainty about his Brentford future with Nottingham Forest links continuing.

Wissa has been a key player for Brentford this season, but with just 12 months left on his contract this summer, speculation over his future continues to grow.

The forward has netted 14 times in the Premier League, making him the division’s sixth-highest scorer, as Brentford enjoy another steady campaign in the top flight.

His performances haven’t gone unnoticed as Nottingham Forest made a £40 million bid for Wissa in January, but Brentford rejected the audacious offer.

However, Football Insider revealed that Nottingham Forest are expected to revive their interest in Wissa in the summer and could secure his signature at a reduced price.

Amid ongoing uncertainty, the striker took to social media to share a message with fans, fuelling further speculation over his next move.

Brentford braced for Yoane Wissa bids amid exit speculation

The 28-year-old has been on international duty with DR Congo, featuring in both of their fixtures and providing an assist against South Sudan.

Upon his return, Wissa shared a message with fans, writing: “See you on the next page of the book…” (translated from French).

For Brentford, the forward has been instrumental to Thomas Frank’s side, particularly after Ivan Toney’s departure in 2024, stepping up in the centre-forward role.

However, Football Insider revealed that Brentford are bracing themselves for offers for Wissa this summer, with clubs eyeing the situation.

Arsenal showed interest in Wissa during January, but Brentford were unwilling to sell mid-season, as Forest saw first-hand when they rejected their offer.

Arsenal and Newcastle eye Bryan Mbeumo as Brentford face double exit threat

Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo have formed a formidable attacking partnership, contributing to 38 goals between them this season.

However, their time together could be coming to an end, with Newcastle and Arsenal closely monitoring Mbeumo, who, like Wissa, will have just 12 months left on his contract this summer.

Football Insider revealed that Newcastle are willing to meet Brentford’s asking price for Mbeumo, though no formal negotiations have taken place yet.

For now, Frank will hope his attacking duo remains focused as Brentford push to finish the season strongly, despite the growing transfer noise.
