Newcastle United have reportedly reached an agreement with Brentford to bring Yoane Wissa to St James’ Park.
This news comes after Newcastle lost their talisman, Alexander Isak, to Liverpool for a British transfer record fee of £125m. The Magpies had two of the previous offers for Wissa rejected by Brentford this summer.
Brentford were reportedly unwilling to part ways with Wissa, who recently issued a statement on his official Instagram account claiming the Bees are ‘unduly standing’ in his way ‘despite a series of fair offers throughout the summer.’

Despite making a club record signing of Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart on a six-year contract last week, Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe has been looking to bolster his attack line, making Wissa’s arrival a relief for the Magpies.
