Brentford Star Wissa Holds Out for Newcastle's Champions League Bid
8 Aug
Summary
- Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa prepared to wait for Newcastle United
- Newcastle want Wissa to bolster their attacking options
- Brentford now willing to sell Wissa once a replacement is found
As of August 8th, 2025, Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa is prepared to wait for Newcastle United in his bid to play in the Champions League next season. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is keen to bolster his attacking ranks at St. James' Park, and the Magpies have received a boost as Brentford are now willing to sell the 28-year-old once they find a replacement.
NEOM and Al-Nassr, the Saudi clubs, are also interested in signing Wissa, and they believe Brentford will sell him for around £40 million. The Bees have identified Ipswich Town's Omari Hutchinson and Bournemouth's Dango Ouattara as potential replacements as they prepare for life without Wissa.
Newcastle are prepared to bid for Wissa again after their previous offers were rejected. The Magpies have missed out on several attacking targets, including Benjamin Sesko, Hugo Ekitike, Liam Delap, and Joao Pedro, while Alexander Isak is looking to leave the club. Manager Eddie Howe will be desperate to finally sign an attacker, and securing Wissa would be a significant boost for Newcastle's Champions League ambitions.
