Newcastle in Pole Position to Sign Brentford’s Yoane Wissa
Newcastle United are now odds-on favourites to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford, with bet365 pricing Eddie Howe’s side at 4/6 to get a deal done before the summer window closes.
With Alexander Isak reportedly unsettled and transfer targets proving elusive, Newcastle’s striker search is intensifying and Wissa appears to be high on the shortlist.
According to Sky Sports' Keith Downie, an initial £25m bid was knocked back earlier this week, but Brentford are understood to value the Congolese forward closer to £35m.
Wissa scored 19 Premier League goals last season and his pace, versatility and pressing ability would offer a direct replacement, or partner, for Isak should the Swede stay.
| Yoane Wissa Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Newcastle | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Any Saudi Arabian Team | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Stay at Brentford | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Tottenham | 20/1 | 4.8% |
| Nottingham Forest | 25/1 | 3.8% |
What the expert says...
Pressure Mounting on Newcastle to Get Deals Done
Newcastle’s lack of activity in the window so far has raised questions from fans, especially with Callum Wilson already having departed and Isak attracting interest from several European giants.
Wissa’s proven Premier League experience and physical profile would suit Eddie Howe’s system and the odds suggest confidence in the North East that a deal can be struck before the opening weekend.
Howe will be understandably frustrated with how Newcastle have acted in the transfer window so far and movement is expected to happen in the coming weeks of the market.
