fee be agreed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">While he is still seeking a move away from west London, Wissa has returned to training after talks with Brentford head coach Keith Andrews.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">That has seen him resume training for the first time since leaving Brentford&#8217;s pre-season camp in Portugal on July 21.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>
