Yoane Wissa has been linked with a move away from Brentford this summer, and he has now agreed personal terms with Newcastle United.
According to an update by reputed Belgian journalist Sebastien Vidal, Newcastle United are inching closer to securing Yoane Wissa’s signature now. The 28-year-old striker was quite impressive for Brentford last season, and he contributed to 25 goals in all competitions. He could prove to be an excellent addition for the Tyneside outfit next season.
The Magpies were hoping to sign Hugo Ekitike, but they have failed to do so. The French attacker has now agreed to join Liverpool, and Newcastle United are looking at alternatives now. They have identified the Brentford striker as a target. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.
The Brentford attacker is tempted to join Newcastle United this summer. He will be able to compete in the UEFA Champions League with them. The DR Congo international is in the prime years of his career, and this is the right time for him to take the next step and join a bigger club where he will be able to fight for trophies as well.
Newcastle United managed to win a domestic trophy last season. They have a talented squad, a quality manager, and an ambitious project. They have the resources to get the deal across the line as well. It remains to be seen whether they can wrap up the move quickly.
Tottenham keen on Wissa
Tottenham Hotspur are working on signing the Brentford attacker as well. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer to sign him. Spurs need more depth in the attacking unit. Dominic Solanke has not been able to score goals consistently and needs more support in the final third. The DR Congo international could be the ideal acquisition for them.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United have been overly dependent on Alexander Isak in the final third. They will be competing in four competitions next season. They need more depth in the squad, and having another quality striker could make a big difference for them in the final third.
