Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa is happy to step in as centre-forward for the first-half of the season.

Wissa is filling in to cover for suspended star Ivan Toney, who won't be seen until January.

He told the club's match programme: “It will be different because, obviously, last year, the main guy was Ivan. This year will be open for everyone.

“Of course, everyone will have Ivan in the back of their heads, so that's why it might be a bit challenging for every player, but especially me because I'm playing in his position.

“But it's good to have this pressure to prove I can handle it. I've shown people I can score goals already, but it's all about the next game, the next game, the next game.

“Playing and training with Ivan has been good because, since I came to Brentford, I've watched him and seen lots of good things I can learn from him."

Wissa added: “Everyone wants to score but I don't go crazy. If you want to score, you have to miss. If you don't get in the situations, you won't score.

“That's why I focus on how I can do better next time. That's what I thought during pre-season - we have to build focus, the training - because we trained every day, more than the season. We had to be focused on every situation."
