Brentford have attempted to open contract talks with Yoanne Wissa, amid reports the DR Congo international has told the club he wants to leave.

Brentford have reportedly identified a potential replacement for Yoane Wissa if the in-demand striker leaves the club.

Manchester United have reportedly reached a £71 million agreement to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford after weeks of intense negotiations. The Cameroon international prioritised a move to Old Trafford over rival offers, and will now become United’s third signing of the summer in a transfer that could reshape their attack heading into the 2025-26 season.

Manchester United have lodged an improved offer worth up to £70m for Bryan Mbeumo in an attempt to get a deal for their top target over the line.

Newcastle United have turned their attention to Brentford striker Yoane Wissa after ending their pursuit of Hugo Ekitike, with a deal for the DR Congo international now firmly in their sights.

Fans have slammed Brentford for signing Jordan Henderson while warning that the veteran English midfielder is a massive "downgrade" on Christian Norgaard.

Manchester United are locked in a 'stand-off' with Brentford over Bryan Mbeumo's transfer fee as more than a fortnight has passed since they placed their second bid worth £55 million ($74m) up front with £5m in add-ons.

Jordan Henderson has opened up on his departure from Ajax after the Dutch club mutually agreed to terminate his contract, allowing the former Liverpool captain to return to the Premier League with Brentford.

Manchester United’s pursuit of Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo has hit a crucial phase, with head coach Ruben Amorim demanding the deal be completed before their pre-season tour begins on July 22.
