Brantford Completes Deal Of Another Top Star Who Officially Announced Departure For £65.5Million Move To Rivals Club
Brentford’s £40m Forward “Only Wants” Newcastle Transfer Despite Competing Bids
Wissa Pushes for Newcastle Move as Brentford Standoff Continues
Yoane Wissa’s desire to swap west London for the North East is no longer in doubt. The Brentford forward, who struck 19 goals in the Premier League last season, has made it emphatically clear that his heart is set on Newcastle United. Despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, it is Eddie Howe’s Magpies that Wissa is determined to join.
As per Craig Hope, who reported the update on Tuesday morning, underlining the player’s stance and the gravity of the situation at Brentford. “Wissa wants it to happen. He’s not going to play for Brentford. Again, he’s communicated that to them. He’s told them to find a solution. This is the move he wants, not Villa, not Forest, not Tottenham – Newcastle.”
Player Desire Matches Howe’s Ethos
Eddie Howe has always been a manager who values character and clarity. Transfers at Newcastle are not just about numbers, they are about mentality. As Hope noted, “Eddie Howe is on the record, as saying that transfers only happen when a player really wants them to and Eddie likes that. He liked that in Anthony Elanga.”
It is this same determined mindset that Howe recognises in Wissa. The Congolese forward’s refusal to consider offers from elsewhere speaks volumes. He is not looking for an upgrade in wages, he wants to compete in the Champions League. Newcastle, back at Europe’s top table, now have the allure to match their ambition.
Wissa has told Brentford he will not play for the club again. His frustration is rooted in what he believes was a broken promise. GIVEMESPORT’s Ben Jacobs revealed that Wissa may even consider going on strike, feeling the club reneged on a verbal agreement to allow him to leave for £26 million. Newcastle, it is understood, are prepared to go as high as £35 million to secure his signature.
