Brentford striker Yoane Wissa has been linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window, with Newcastle United keen on signing him.
According to an update by the reliable Ben Jacobs, Brentford are unwilling to sell Yoane Wissa in the summer transfer window, and it has left the striker disappointed. The 28-year-old believes that he was promised a summer move if a suitable offer came in, and now he feels betrayed.
The DR Congo international registered 25 goal contributions last season, and he was outstanding for Brentford. The opportunity to move to Newcastle United is quite attractive for him. The Magpies can offer him Champions League football for the upcoming campaign.
Newcastle United have an exciting project and a talented team. This could be the final opportunity for Wissa to join a big club. He is 28 and at the peak of his career. However, if Brentford deny him the move, it will be very disappointing for him.
It remains to be seen whether Newcastle United can convince Brentford to sell the player in the coming weeks after failing with a bid worth £30 million. The 28-year-old has plenty of experience in the Premier League, and he could be an excellent acquisition for Newcastle if they manage to pull off the transfer.
Newcastle United could be without Alexander Isak next season. The Swedish international has made it clear that he wants to leave the club, and the Tyneside outfit will have to bring in a quality replacement.
The 28-year-old DR Congo international would have been the ideal acquisition for them. Wissa has proven himself in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact. Brentford have already sold Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United earlier this summer, and it is no surprise that they are unwilling to let go of another key attacker.
The Bees cannot afford to sell multiple players in the same window. They have lost Christian Norgaard and former manager Thomas Frank as well. If Wissa decides to submit a transfer request to force the move to Newcastle, things could become difficult for Brentford, and it would give Newcastle a position of strength when it comes to negotiating the deal. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few days.
