Brentford hit Dango Ouattara stumbling block amid Arnaud Kalimuendo interest
Brentford's move for Dango Ouattara has stalled as Bournemouth insist on signing a replacement for the winger before sanctioning a sale. Ouattara is keen on a move to Brentford, who have held initial talks with Bournemouth. The Cherries value Ouattara, who scored nine goals in all competitions last season, at around £40million. Brentford's struggles to secure a deal for Ouattara, who is viewed as a replacement for Bryan Mbeumo, could have a bearing on the future of Yoane Wissa. Wissa has attracted interest from Newcastle, who are weighing up a £35m bid, and is keen on a move to St James' Park as he wants to play Champions League football. However, Brentford's failure to get a deal over the line for Ouattara would make them less inclined to sanction the departure of Wissa, who they value at £50m. Brentford have faced similar issues in their pursuit of Omari Hutchinson, who they still hold an interest in, with Ipswich also clear they want to sign a replacement before letting the winger leave. The Bees are also keen on Rennes forward Arnaud Kalimuendo, who registered 17 goals and three assists in Ligue 1 last season. Rennes sporting director Loic Desire has confirmed that the club are in negotiations over Kalimuendo's departure, having previously admitted the 23-year-old was likely to leave this summer. Brentford head coach Keith Andrews is keen to bolster his attacking options ahead of the new season with the arrivals of both Ouattara and Kalimuendo, with both deals viewed as separate from each other.

Andrews 'in perfect position to do a really good job'
Brentford fan Daniel Topping from The Ealing Road Podcast says he remains excited for the new season despite there being some external worry around the Bees' summer activity. On paper, losing your manager, captain and star player is a reason to panic, but Topping believes you "have to trust the club" and "the process". "It is clearly a big job for Keith Andrews," he told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "We have never finished a Premier League weekend in the relegation zone over the past four years so it is important we start well this season. "Andrews doesn't have the credit in the bank like other bigger-named managers might have done if they had come in, but I trust the club. I have to trust the process. "The thing about Brentford, and what other coaches might start to see now, is that if you are a young coach at the top level, and want to progress, then Brentford is a good place to come and do that. "Frank had a limited amount of coaching experience in Denmark before coming to us as assistant-coach but he helped drive the culture. "The club want to keep that and Andrews is clearly respected by those at the club, so he is in the perfect position to do a really good job with the support he has around him."

'New faces look promising' or 'squad is too light'?
We asked for your views on whether Nottingham Forest are ready for the new season as they prepare to kick off at home to Brentford on Sunday. Here are some of your comments: Sean: In terms of results, it's not been an ideal pre-season. However, the new faces look very promising so it's likely to just be a case of working at it and the goals will come. We looked worn out at the end of last season, so with that in mind and the prospect of a European campaign, we need to sign a few more players and have a little squad depth. Ideally, had we signed more players by now we could have used them more in pre-season but now it'll have to be a case of getting them up to speed in the Premier League. Ken: I will only start worrying if we don't score against Brentford. I will say this: am I the only one who thinks the rest of the squad are distant from Gibbs-White since he had his new deal? Murillo has been awful. David Carmo has been excellent. Awoniyi looks sharp, Hudson-Odoi looks disinterested. Nuno has remained silent. Morato surely has to go? Jesus has had so little service that he must be wondering why he came. Ndoye looked good. Kevin: Absolutely terrified for the coming season. One goal across all those games? Barely any signings. I fear we maybe about to repeat the mid-90s when Forest finished third, ninth and then got relegated. Difficult times ahead for this season after what was a massive overachievement last term. Ken: At the moment, very concerned. Our squad is still too light. What's worse is the lack of chances created for Igor, Jesus, Woody and Taiwo. If Nuno continues with this counter-attacking style, it won't work, teams have rumbled it. We should be going for Harvey Elliott and James McAtee as they are both creative. At the moment, Gibbs-White looks disinterested, Hudson-Odoi looks like he doesn't want to be there and Murillo looks like he is more interested in the London lifestyle than helping his club. If we make a bad start, I fear for Nuno, I really do. He needs to find a plan B, and quick. Tony: Really concerned at how impotent Forest have looked in front of goal in pre-season. The whole team just do not seem to be in tune with each other. Last year they looked 'together' but not so much so far. The subs seemed to have a completely different mindset to the starting XI, who themselves seemed caught between last season's set-up and the new one deployed so far. Could be a big, bumpy landing next week if not sorted pronto.
