Brentford want to sell Yoane Wissa to Tottenham Hotspur despite Newcastle United interest given their relationship with Thomas Frank | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank wants to reunite with Brentford forward Yoane Wissa if Richarlison is offered to Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze, according to the Daily Mail.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club are open to giving the Brazilian plus cash in exchange for the Eagles star, and they want Wissa in his place.

However, the Bees star has his heart set on joining Newcastle United and has been pushing for a move to St James’ Park for over three weeks.

Brentford are delaying the move because they want to sell the 28-year-old to Tottenham.

Frank brought Wissa to Brentford in 2021, but he is not keen on a reunion as he knows he can be the leading man in attack at Newcastle.

They want attacking reinforcements after Alexander Isak made it clear that he wants to leave, and manager Eddie Howe wants Wissa.

The Magpies have offered an improved bid of £35 million plus £5m in add-ons, but it has been knocked back as Brentford want £60m.

Spurs need to free up a spot in their attack to accommodate him, which is why they are open to involving Richarlison in the Eze deal.

The 28-year-old was named the Premier League Player of Matchday 1 after his brace in the 3-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday.

Signing the Palace attacker and Wissa could be a game-changer for Tottenham as they look to impress across all competitions this term.

Getting both deals done could prove tricky, and Frank will need to convince his former player that moving to Spurs is the best option for his career.
