Mehmeti’s performances this season have made him one of the most talked about players in League One, and despite signing a contract extension with the Adams Park side 12 months ago, Wanderers could be expected to hear bids from numerous teams if his positive displays continue.
Since joining Wycombe in the autumn of 2020, the former Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur, and Norwich City youngster has scored 17 goals in 89 appearances for the club.
Speaking on Mehmeti after the victory over Pompey, Ainsworth said: “He is an unbelievable talent.

“His story is insane as he has learnt his trade by playing in those tight cages in London.
“He has worked his socks off and whenever he plays, it’s as if he has got his own ball.
“What he has is ridiculous and I know it’s something that I cannot coach, but I can help him get into the positions in which he can receive the ball and hopefully do some magic.
“And if anyone wants to put £5m, £6m, or £7m in then we might consider letting him go.
“But hopefully we can keep him in January.”
