Newcastle have agreed a £55million deal to sign Brentford striker Yoane Wissa after sanctioning Alexander Isak's transfer to Liverpool for around £130million. Isak refused to train or play for Newcastle as he sought the move. Wissa trained with Brentford but was omitted from their three opening Premier League matches and released an Instagram statement saying Brentford had made a written commitment that he could leave this transfer window. Wissa is due to undergo a medical ahead of a four-year contract at Newcastle. His arrival, alongside Nick Woltemade, aims to replace Isak and relieve pressure on the young German.
Newcastle Untied have reportedly agreed a £55million deal to sign Brentford striker Yoane Wissa, hours after sanctioning the sale of Alexander Isak to Liverpool. The Magpies relented on Sunday and finally gave the green light for star talisman Isak to make the move to Anfield for a fee in the region of £130million. Isak had steadfastly refused to train or play for Newcastle as he sought to push through the transfer.
Wissa had taken a similar position at Brentford. While the DR Congo international did train for the Bees, he was not selected for any of the three opening Premier League games, from which they have taken three points, and on Sunday released a lengthy Instagram statement claiming Brentford had made a written commitment that he could leave the club in this transfer window.
