Newcastle Splash £55m on Brentford’s Yoane Wissa After Isak Exit
Newcastle United are wasting no time reinvesting the cash from Alexander Isak’s blockbuster move to Liverpool. According to multiple reports, the Magpies have agreed a deal worth £55 million with Brentford for striker Yoane Wissa.
The 28-year-old DR Congo international had reportedly been pushing for a move throughout the summer — and now, he’s finally got his wish. Wissa is set to partner with rising talent Norman Woultermade in what could become a dynamic new-look attack at St James’ Park.
Wissa brings proven Premier League experience, having made 137 appearances and scored 45 goals for Brentford since arriving from Lorient for just €10 million — a move that now looks like a masterclass in value-for-money recruitment.
