Yoane Wissa is reportedly “furious” with Brentford over their reluctance to sell him amid interest from Premier League clubs in the summer transfer window.
The Bees rejected a £25 million offer from Newcastle United this week and turned down an approach from Nottingham Forest earlier this summer.
The Midlands outfit also saw offers rejected in January, while Tottenham Hotspur are another club linked with a move for the forward.
Wissa left Brentford‘s pre-season training camp in Portugal to return to London for talks with director of football Phil Giles over his future.
Yoane Wissa ‘furious’ over Brentford transfer stance
Sky Sports News report that Newcastle are “looking at other options” as Brentford insist the striker is “not for sale” after losing Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard and Thomas Frank this summer.
This has left Wissa “furious”, as he was supposedly “given assurances” he would be allowed leave the Gtech Community Stadium this summer following Ivan Toney’s exit last year. The report adds that one source say no such assurances were given.
In a bid to push through a move to St James’ Park, the 28-year-old “does not intend to train or play for Brentford again”. He “wants” to join Newcastle and sees this as possibly his last chance to play Champions League football. A previous report claimed he is also “open” to joining Spurs.
Newcastle are still interested in signing the player, who “remains hopeful” of joining the club.

Wissa has one year left remaining on his current contract, although Brentford hold the option to add another 12 months on the deal.
The DR Congo international played a key role in Brentford finishing in the top half of the Premier League last season, scoring 19 goals and providing four assists.
