Wissa continues to be embroiled in transfer rumours that link him to a move away from Brentford this summer.

Brentford set out their conditions for a move earlier this week and Newcastle responded with a renewed offer that was turned down by the Bees.

Football Insider verdict

Brentford have enjoyed four seasons in the Premier League since their promotion from the Championship in 2021, beating Swansea City 1-0 in the Playoff final.

Finishes of 13th, ninth, 16th and 10th have followed, but following two successive seasons of all three newly promoted sides being relegated, that trend looks to be under threat.

As the mood around the Premier League’s new clubs is buoyed by early wins, it may be dampened at West Ham and Brentford, as their slow starts could see them in danger of the drop.

Neither club have sufficiently strengthened this summer whilst also losing major assets, while Sunderland and Leeds have both heavily invested, showing their desire to fight hard for survival.
