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.
