Africa-Press – Mozambique. Newcastle United are preparing a fresh £35 million bid for DR Congo forward Yoane Wissa as they step up efforts to bolster their attacking options.
The 28-year-old has been a standout performer for Brentford, impressing with his pace, versatility, and eye for goal since joining the Bees from Lorient in 2021. His form in the Premier League has attracted strong interest from the Magpies, who are eager to get a replacement should Isak leave.
Sources suggest Newcastle are ready to table an improved offer after seeing an initial approach rebuffed, but Brentford are adamant they will not sanction Wissa’s departure without first securing a suitable replacement. The bees views the DR Congo international as a key part of the team, particularly with the club determined to maintain their Premier League status.
Newcastle, however, remain confident that Wissa could be persuaded to move, with the player reportedly open to the prospect of playing European football and competing at the highest level.
The coming weeks are expected to be crucial, with Brentford under pressure to strengthen before considering a sale and Newcastle eager to finalize a deal before rival clubs enter the race.
