Any thoughts on Wissa? Only one bid from Newcastle and he now be forcing Brentfords hand slightly. £35m to £40m may be enough.

Apparently he wants Champions league football.

Having lost two of their best players to us and Arsenal I don't see Brentford can afford to lose their only tested striker. If they get relegated the fee received for Wissa will be no consolation.

The silence is deafening DG!
Not quite what we are after for a number of reasons. I do like him, in his current team, but his antics to force a move are the biggest negative IMO.

He's a good player and one I'd certainly be happy to have at United. Proven EPL scorer and has an excellent link up with our new signing Mbeumo.
If we sign Sesko and Højlund leaves as part of the deal then I think we should still be looking at signing a more experienced EPL striker to rotate with Sesko. Who is the same age as Højlund and has many of the same weaknesses (lack of experience and consistency) .
Signing someone like Wissa or Mateta, both of whom have a good track record in the EPL and are 28 years old with a good amount of experience, along with both potentially being available for less than 40m, would make a lot of sense as someone to take the pressure off of Sesko.

By the same token, Mbeumo interview in the week says he loves to play alongside Watkins….! Or we only using selective hearing when it suits the Red tints.
