Toon head coach Eddie Howe has seen a host of hitmen slip through his fingers but there is a growing confidence on Tyneside that a £35 million offer will be enough to convince the Bees to sell Wissa.

Brentford have been reluctant to lose both Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo, who joined Manchester United last month, in this window.
