Brentford boss Thomas Frank has firmly shut down speculation linking Yoane Wissa with a move away from the club during the ongoing transfer window.
The Congolese forward has been a standout performer for the Bees this season, attracting interest from multiple suitors, but Frank insists Wissa is not on the market.
Wissa’s Impact at Brentford
The 27-year-old forward has been instrumental in Brentford’s campaign, forming a formidable partnership with Bryan Mbeumo in the attack.
Wissa’s consistency and ability to deliver crucial performances have made him one of the club’s key players, inevitably drawing attention from other clubs.
Despite the growing interest, Brentford’s stance on the player is clear. Speaking about the transfer rumours, Thomas Frank dismissed any possibility of Wissa leaving, either during the January window or in the summer.
Frank’s Resolute Stance
“There are a lot of rumours,” Frank said. “For me, again, he is a Brentford player, and in my opinion, Wissa is not for sale.
He is our number nine, he is fantastic. I don’t see why we should sell him.”
Frank’s comments underline the club’s determination to retain their top talent as they aim to continue their impressive progress in the Premier League.
Future Uncertainty
While Brentford’s management is keen to hold on to Wissa, much will depend on the player’s ambitions and the quality of offers from potential suitors.
With Wissa’s stock rising due to his stellar performances, the interest from other clubs is unlikely to subside, setting the stage for potential negotiations in the summer.
For now, however, Brentford and their supporters can breathe a sigh of relief, with Wissa remaining a pivotal figure in their lineup as they look to build on their strong performances this season.
