British journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed the latest developments in the ongoing talks between Newcastle United and Brentford regarding the transfer of Congolese striker Yoane Wissa during this summer transfer window.At 28 years old, Wissa is eager to leave the Bees after a sensational season, racking up 20 goals and 5 assists in 35 matches.
While the London club initially resisted his departure, the management now seems open to negotiations, especially after securing a replacement in the form of Dango Ouattara, the Burkina Faso international signed from Bournemouth.In a post published on X, Ben Jacobs confirmed that talks are set to resume soon:
"Newcastle United are expected to resume talks for Yoane Wissa in the next 24 to 48 hours.Personal terms between Wissa and #NUFC are not an issue."
Yoane Wissa sees this transfer as the perfect opportunity to take on a new challenge and experience the Champions League , a goal now within reach thanks to an ambitious club like Newcastle.
