Story: written by okafor joseph August 20,2025
Newcastle United have reportedly made a formal approach to sign Brentford striker Yoane Wissa, as uncertainty grows over the future of star forward Alexander Isak.
The Magpies are keen to strengthen their attacking options after fresh developments on Tuesday night revealed that Isak has expressed his desire to leave St James’ Park, citing that “promises have been broken” by the club’s hierarchy.
While Newcastle insist they expect the Sweden international to remain beyond the summer transfer window, the standoff has sparked speculation that he could depart before the September 1 deadline.
Amid the transfer saga, Newcastle are moving quickly to ensure they are not left short in the number nine role. Reports suggest the club have stepped up negotiations for Yoane Wissa, who has impressed at Brentford with his pace, versatility, and ability to play across the front line.
The situation adds extra tension ahead of Newcastle’s Premier League clash with Brentford on Monday night, where both clubs could find themselves in the spotlight over transfer dealings as much as on-field performance.
With the window closing in less than two weeks, Newcastle are under pressure to resolve the Isak situation and secure reinforcements, with Wissa emerging as a serious target to bolster Eddie Howe’s attacking depth.
