Nottingham Forest had eyes on Brentford's Yoane Wissa as a potential striking target before the window closed but the trail has gone cold.

It was reported Forest were willing to pay in excess of £20m for the 28-year-old, who has scored 11 Premier League goals this season.

Brentford were not willing sellers and would demand well in excess of that fee to even consider a deal.

Forest had become increasingly pessimistic of any deal being sanctioned, while the Bees are in no mood to sell such a vital component of their attack.
