bloomshorts Newcastle’s Pursuit of Wissa
Newcastle United are keen on enhancing their attacking options by signing Yoane Wissa from Brentford. The 28-year-old striker, who netted 20 goals across all competitions last season, is seen as a key addition to provide depth and reduce reliance on Alexander Isak. With Champions League football on the horizon, Newcastle’s need for a versatile attacker like Wissa is more pressing than ever.
Tottenham’s Advantage
Tottenham Hotspur, however, may have the upper hand in the race for Wissa’s signature. The player’s preference for a move to Spurs, coupled with the presence of former Brentford manager Thomas Frank at Tottenham, could prove decisive. Wissa’s previous success under Frank’s guidance adds an intriguing layer to this potential reunion.
Brentford’s Stance
Brentford’s reluctance to part with Wissa this summer complicates matters for both suitors. Having already lost Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United, the Bees are wary of further depleting their squad. Whether Newcastle or Tottenham can persuade Brentford to change their stance remains to be seen, with Wissa possibly needing to force a move to realize his ambitions at a bigger club.
