Yoane Wissa agrees temporary truce with Brentford as he waits for Newcastle United move completion | OneFootball

Yoane Wissa has now agreed a temporary truce with Brentford.

The striker having refused to train with the rest of the squad as he felt the West London club had failed to honour a gentleman’s agreement that he could leave this summer, if a suitable club came in for him.

Newcastle United having made at least one formal offer for Yoane Wissa that has been rejected.

Brentford wanting more money but also, at least as importantly, needing to line up a replacement for if/when Yoane Wissa leaves for St James’ Park.

BBC Sport report that after talks with Brentford Head Coach Keith Andrews, the striker has now agreed to train with the rest of the Brentford squad.

However, Yoane Wissa is still adamant that he wants to join Newcastle United in the next three and a half weeks and play Champions League football in the coming season.

The idea of course is that Newcastle United need two accomplished strikers for this massive upcoming season, so Yoane Wissa not any kind of a replacement for Alexander Isak. Instead the intention for Isak to still be the main man and Wissa to play as a second striker and to fill in as a sole striker at times. Whilst if Isak left United, Eddie Howe then needing to have Yoane Wissa and another new first team level striker signed.

‘Brentford forward Yoane Wissa has returned to first-team training following constructive talks with head coach Keith Andrews but is still seeking a move away from the club.

Wissa and Andrews spoke at the team’s training ground on Wednesday morning following a fortnight of strained relations between player and club.

The talks have resulted in Wissa resuming senior training for the first time since he decided to leave Brentford’s pre-season base in Portugal on 21 July.

However, the 28-year-old still wants to secure a transfer to Newcastle during the current transfer window – a move that would provide him with an opportunity to play Champions League football.

Sources have told BBC Sport that Brentford will consider selling Wissa but value the forward at a figure significantly more than the £25million plus £5m offer they have received from Newcastle.

Identifying and signing a replacement for Wissa is also said to be a factor in any possible move ahead of the transfer deadline on September 1.

In addition to his return to training, Wissa was also part of Brentford’s Premier League media day on Tuesday, when the squad were filmed and photographed for external broadcasters ahead of the new season.

And having missed Saturday’s 1-0 friendly win over Queens Park Rangers, it now remains to be seen whether Wissa is part of the squad to face Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday.
