Brentford will lose Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United, but their other top attacker Yoane Wissa has also attracted interest from Newcastle and Tottenham this summer
Newcastle and Tottenham may have to give up plans to sign Yoane Wissa this summer now that Brentford and Manchester United have finally agreed the conditions for the transfer of Bryan Mbeumo.
The Cameroon star, 25, is the subject of interest of United, Newcastle and Spurs this summer after breaking the barrier of 20 goals in the Premier League for the first time last season, although the player's preference has always been a transfer to Old Trafford.
The conversations about a transfer have continued for weeks, with Brentford refunding two different bids for their star attacker.
In the same period, both Newcastle and Tottenham set their sights on the prizes of Wissa away from the bees instead of Mbeumo.
But with Mbeumo now on its way to Manchester United in a deal that could reach £ 71 million with add-ons, the chances that Wissa are moving this summer.
Wissa added 20 goals in all competitions last season for Brentford next to Mbeumo to put Newcastle and Spurs on alert.
But it is understood that Brentford will not entertain the idea of selling both top attackers in the same transfer window, which means that Wissa is very likely to stay in place now.
That will come a big blow to both his friendly; Spurs are now managed by Thomas Frank, who likes to reunite with Mbeumo and then Wissa in Noord -Londen.

Newcastle, on the other hand, has investigated a deal for Wissa after he ran away from negotiations with Eintracht Frankfurt about Hugo Ekitike, who is now expected to join Liverpool at Liverpool after personal conditions with the new Premier League Champions made.
The magpies, such as Spurs, are on the market for attacking reinforcements after qualifying for the Champions League. They have strengthened their forward options with the conquest of Anthony Elanga van Nottingham Forest: another club that has ended Wissa.
Brentford has already identified Omari Hutchinson from Ipswich Town as their primary target to replace Mbeumo. The bees had an offer of £ 35 million for the former attacker of Arsenal and Chelsea rejected earlier this week, but is expected to return with a new offer.
