bloomshorts Newcastle’s Wissa Chase Complicated by Brentford’s New Demands
Newcastle United’s efforts to secure Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa have encountered another obstacle. According to talkSPORT, while the Magpies are still very interested in the Congo international to enhance their attacking lineup, Brentford has recently shifted its position, making negotiations more complex.
Financial Commitment Required
Initially open to selling Wissa if their valuation was met, Brentford has now adopted a firmer stance, effectively increasing their demands. This development could compel Newcastle to substantially up their offer to have any hope of acquiring the 28-year-old forward.
Wissa’s Desire for a New Challenge
Wissa is reportedly eager for a move, having expressed his readiness for a new challenge. The prospect of Champions League football with Newcastle is seen as a particularly appealing factor for the attacker.
Newcastle’s Attacking Concerns
Eddie Howe’s interest in Wissa is part of a broader strategy to strengthen Newcastle’s attack. The departure of Callum Wilson and the uncertain future of Alexander Isak have left the team in need of additional firepower upfront.
Brentford’s Determination
Despite Newcastle’s interest and Wissa’s desire to leave, Brentford is resolved to hold out for their valuation of the player. With previous bids rejected, Newcastle may need to significantly improve their offer to break the deadlock.
