Brentford identify Yoane Wissa £25m transfer replacement as Newcastle, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest eye striker

<p>According to <a href="https://www.teamtalk.com/brentford/transfer-news-daizen-maeda-celtic-yoane-wissa-replacement-sources" target="_blank">TEAMtalk</a>, Brentford are targeting Celtic forward Daizen Maeda if Wissa is sold this summer. The report adds that the Bees have been in contact with the Japanese international's entourage, with the 27-year-old valued at around £25 million ($33.6m) by the Scottish giants.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?
