Departing Brentford striker Wissa, who has penned a four-year deal at St James’ Park, was so confident that he would get his deadline-day move that he travelled north on the morning of the last day of Premier League trading before getting the green light.

Infamously, West Brom star Peter Odemwingie once attempted a similar stunt ina bid to sign for Queens Park Rangers before the deal collapsed, but there was no such drama on Tyneside.

Wissa’s £50m arrival brought the curtain down on asummer spend of £252m at St James’ Park after Saudi-backers PIF kept their word on transfers.
