adminBREAKING: Newcastle Now Favourites to Land 49-Goal Striker – Spurs Left Scrambling!
Yoane Wissa Still Favors Newcastle Move Despite Tottenham Interest
Yoane Wissa continues to prioritise a move to Newcastle United, even as Tottenham Hotspur maintain their interest in the Brentford forward. According to Craig Hope, the DR Congo international remains keen on a switch to St James’ Park, with a deal still possible before the transfer deadline.
Despite having already signed Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart, Newcastle remain in pursuit of Wissa, though they may need to meet Brentford’s valuation to push a deal through. The Magpies view Wissa as a key target to replace the departed Callum Wilson and potentially cover for Alexander Isak, whose future at the club remains uncertain.
Newcastle’s transfer window has been underwhelming, marked by multiple high-profile rejections. While they began positively with the signing of Anthony Elanga, reinforcing the striker position has proved difficult. Much of that difficulty stems from the ongoing Isak saga — the Swede could be allowed to leave, likely for a significant bid from Liverpool, but only if Newcastle secure two replacements.
Wissa, who has netted 49 Premier League goals for Brentford, fits the profile Newcastle are after. Despite Spurs keeping an eye on the situation in case an opportunity arises to boost their attacking options, Wissa’s preference remains clear — he wants to join Newcastle.
Brentford, meanwhile, are reluctant to sell, knowing Wissa’s value to Thomas Frank’s squad. Yet as the deadline nears, Newcastle hope to revive talks and push through a late deal.
Any move for Wissa is likely contingent on Isak’s situation. Newcastle may be forced to wait for Liverpool to meet their asking price before committing to signing the Brentford striker. With time running out, the Magpies face a race against the clock to resolve the complexities of both deals.
