Yoane Wissa makes stance clear on Newcastle exit | OneFootball

Newcastle United will reportedly explore selling Yoane Wissa in the summer transfer window. 

But Wissa has made it clear he wants to stay at St James’ Park after arriving just last summer in a £55 million deal, per The Athletic. 

The 29-year-old has endured a difficult start to life at Newcastle. 

He missed the first half of the season due to a knee injury, and has made only four Premier League starts. 

The DR Congo international has scored only once and is currently Eddie Howe’s fourth-choice striker. 

Newcastle lost Alexander Isak to Liverpool, despite making best efforts to keep him at the club. 

Callum Wilson also followed the Swede out of St James’ Park, joining West Ham United on a free transfer. 

Wissa and Nick Woltemade were not the priority targets for the Tyneside club. 

But after failed attempts to bring in Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike and Jorgan Strand Larsen, they ended up signing the two forwards.  

Both Wissa and Woltemade have not made the desired impact, as the Magpies are likely to end the season without qualification for Europe. 

Woltemade made an explosive start, but his recent form has been poor. He hasn’t scored in the Premier League since bagging a brace against Chelsea in December.  

Newcastle are looking to offload Wissa this summer, but they would have to take a significant loss on the former Brentford star, whose valuation has dropped steeply.
