Brentford have dropped DR Congo international Yoane Wissa from their squad ahead of their game against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Wissa has attracted significant interest this summer, with Al-Nassr and Newcastle United pushing for his signature before the start of the new season.
In recent weeks, Tottenham, and FC Neom have all shown interest in the forward, but Brentford’s financial demands have deterred potential buyers.
Wissa, who is keen on joining Newcastle United has been left out of the squad as he pushes for Brentford departure.
Relations between Wissa and Brentford have recently become strained. The player is unhappy with the club’s refusal to let him leave despite interest from other teams. In protest, the forward left the team’s pre-season camp in Portugal and has refused to train.
Last season, Wissa made 39 appearances for the Bees, scoring 20 goals and providing 5 assists. His contract with Brentford runs until 2026.
