Newcastle United's Move for Wissa: What You Need to Know

Newcastle upon Tyne, UKSat Aug 16 2025
Newcastle United is making a big move to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford. The club is ready to finalize the deal after Brentford secured a replacement in Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth. This deal is worth a record £42 million for Brentford. Wissa has been a top player for Brentford, scoring 19 goals last season. He was fifth in the Golden Boot race and caught the eye of many top clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur. Newcastle has been interested in Wissa for a while but struggled to convince Brentford to sell him. Now that Brentford has found a replacement, Newcastle is expected to move quickly. Wissa's representatives have been assured that Brentford will engage in talks with Newcastle. Wissa has also made it clear that he wants to join Newcastle and play in the Champions League. Newcastle needs a new forward, especially with Alexander Isak refusing to play for the club. The club has targeted several top European forwards but has failed to convince them to move. Wissa's versatility and goal-scoring ability make him a great fit for Newcastle. Wissa's move to Newcastle is expected to happen before the transfer window closes on September 1. He will miss Brentford's season opener against Nottingham Forest due to speculation over his future. Wissa's determination and perseverance have made him a valuable player, and Newcastle is eager to bring him on board.
