Newcastle United to Submit Fresh Bid for Yoane Wissa as Transfer Talks Intensify

Newcastle United will make a new offer for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa after their £25 million bid failed. Wissa wants to join Newcastle for the Champions League.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Newcastle want Wissa after missing out on other strikers. They bid £25 million for the 28-year-old, but Brentford said no. Talks continue, and Newcastle may offer £30 million plus extras. Tottenham and Nottingham Forest also want Wissa, but Newcastle hope he’ll join for European football. Wissa is away from Brentford’s pre-season camp to discuss his future, making the transfer talks urgent.

BIG PICTURE

Brentford have lost key players like Norgaard and Mbeumo and manager Thomas Frank. Losing Wissa would be another hit, but he wants to leave. Wissa scored 14 goals and had 6 assists last season for Brentford. Newcastle, who finished fifth in the Premier League last season and qualified for the Champions League, want to improve their attack to reach the top four according to reports.

WHAT’S NEXT?

The Premier League season starts for Brentford and Newcastle in two weeks. Newcastle play Aston Villa, who finished 6th place last season and want European play again. Brentford face new team Nottingham Forest, a team that qualified for the Conference League last season. Losing Wissa could make Brentford’s chances worse. Signing Wissa soon might help Newcastle’s team in time for their opening games and aid their European dreams.
