Yoane Wissa’s explosive statement against Brentford

The Congolese international’s lengthy statement reads as follows:

I have remained silent for most of the summer, but with just hours left in the transfer window, I feel compelled to state clearly that I want to leave Brentford. I believe the club is unfairly standing in my way, despite several reasonable offers received throughout the summer. (…) Earlier this summer, I had open discussions with the club’s management, including some directors and the new coach. I made my intention to seek a new challenge absolutely clear."During these talks, it was confirmed to me and my representatives that the club would not hold me back if a reasonable offer was made. This was also confirmed in writing. Based on this commitment, I began looking for a new club, keeping Brentford fully informed at every step. I received a formal offer from another Premier League club and communicated my desire to join them." "From all my discussions with Brentford, I believed there was a mutual agreement to part ways. However, as the transfer window draws to a close, the club suddenly changed its stance, contradicting what was previously agreed. This has put me in a difficult and frustrating position." "The promise to let me leave this summer has not been kept. It pains me to have to write this, and yet I continue to deeply respect the club and its supporters."
