Nottingham Forest have tabled an audacious £22million bid to sign Brentford striker Yoane Wissa. The DR Congo forward's current deal at the Gtech Community Stadium runs until 2026, with an option for a further 12 months. He has scored 11 goals in 19 Premier League matches for the Bees, who have adapted brilliantly to live after the sale of their talisman Ivan Toney last summer.

Forest's offer is expected to be rejected by the west London club, according to the Athletic, with it falling short of the side's valuation of the 28-year-old. Nuno Espirito Santo's side, who drew level on points with Arsenal in second place following their weekend win over Southampton, are considering a number of option as they bid to capitalise on their remarkable first half of the campaign and secure Champions League qualification.
