Brentford have two bids for PSV's Veerman rejected

Brentford have had two offers rejected for PSV Eindhoven midfielder Joey Veerman.

The Dutch club responded to Brentford's second offer, believed to be in the region of £25m, with the message that Veerman is not for sale.

The Bees are now considering whether to return with a new offer for the 26-year-old, who has 16 caps for the Netherlands.

Brentford remain keen to strengthen their squad before the transfer deadline on Monday but are having difficulty in landing their top targets.

The west London club have also had a £45m bid rejected for Borussia Dortmund forward Max Beier.

Whether Brentford can strengthen in attacking areas could have a bearing on whether DR Congo forward Yoane Wissa joins Newcastle.

Wissa has told the club of his wish to move to St James' Park this summer.

Newcastle have seen two offers for Wissa turned down – the latest worth £30m plus £5m in add ons.
