Football Insider has been told by Stefan Borson Nottingham Forest could sell their star players to avoid a points deduction blow.

Nottingham Forest have submitted a bid for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa. That is according to a report from The Athletic on Tuesday which details the lodging of an offer of £22m for the 28-year-old. Wissa has 18 months remaining on his contract with the Bees, who value him higher than the £22m that has been received.

However, the clash against Matt Bloomfield’s side saw Meghoma remain an unused substitute - with Emil Riis and Mads Frokjaer the only two players introduced. North End’s boss pushed Andrew Hughes on to operate at left wing-back with aerial power and know-how prioritised.

The report by David Ornstein on X (formerly Twitter) states that Forest have submitted a bid for Wissa, in the region of £22million as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of a Champions League push. However, their bid is 'significantly' below Brentford's valuation of the 28-year-old, and it will not be accepted.

Speaking ahead of Saturday’s clash away to Bournemouth (3pm kick-off), he had already made clear the Reds will only target players who can improve the squad and who want to sign for the club.
