Brentford reject club's £40m offer for Wissa
The Guardian
|August 21, 2025
Newcastle have had an improved £40m bid for Yoane Wissa rejected by Brentford as they seek to reinforce Eddie Howe's attack amid uncertainty over Alexander Isak.
As Isak trains separately from his teammates in an attempt to force a move to Liverpool, Wissa missed Brentford's 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest as he attempted to push through a transfer to St James' Park. Newcastle insist Isak will not be allowed to leave the club this summer. Wissa's potential arrival could alter that narrative.
