Yoane Wissa ‘set to clear medical’ amid Tottenham transfer development

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa, with manager Thomas Frank potentially turning to his former club. Frank has already brought in coaches from Brentford and may now target one of their players.

Injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar assessed Wissa's fitness ahead of a potential summer move. He stated that while Wissa suffered an ankle injury last season, it was minor, causing him to miss only three games. Wissa played in the remaining 35 league games and recovered well. Dr. Brar concluded that Wissa should have no issues passing a medical or adapting to Tottenham, given his decent Premier League experience (45 goals in 137 appearances for Brentford). Tottenham's interest in the 28-year-old Congo international is long-standing, dating back to January.

Thomas Frank, having previously managed Wissa at Brentford, is seen as key to maximizing the player's potential at Spurs. At Brentford, Frank utilized Wissa's pace and power in fluid systems (4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3), transforming him into a dynamic, hybrid attacker. Frank could deploy him centrally or on the left, exploiting his ability to drift into half-spaces, press aggressively, and make runs behind defences, complementing Spurs' existing attacking talents.

The article argues that Tottenham must sign Wissa due to their need for a proven, adaptable forward to strengthen their attack following a 17th-place finish. His prior success under Frank, familiarity with Frank's high-pressing system, and a reported £40million valuation make him a cost-effective, high-impact signing capable of helping Spurs challenge for a top-four finish.
