Tottenham remain interested in signing Yoane Wissa this summer as Brentford reject a bid in the region of £20million from Nottingham Forest for the striker.
Forest have reignited their interest in Wissa after seeing a bid worth around £22m rejected in January. Their latest offer falls below that figure.
Spurs enquired about Wissa earlier this summer and were told by Brentford that a fee of at least £50m would be required. There has been no contact between the clubs in two weeks, but Standard Sport understands that the 28-year-old remains a target.
Spurs have already spent £51m on turning loan deals for Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso into permanent deals, and earlier this week, young Japanese defender Kota Takai joined for £5m.
Mohamed Kudus was on Thursday confirmed as Spurs’ fourth summer signing, arriving from West Ham in a £55m deal, and Morgan Gibbs-White is set to undergo a medical at Hotspur Way after his £60m release clause was triggered.
Forest want to reinvest that fee, along with the £52m Newcastle are set to spend on Anthony Elanga, in bolstering their attacking options, prompting return interest in Wissa.
