Newcastle United are reportedly facing another threat in their hopes of signing Brentford striker Yoane Wissa this summer. Wissa has been linked with a move to St James’ Park for the last few weeks, but the Bees insist that he is not for sale.
Much like Newcastle United’s stance on Alexander Isak, Brentford do not want to lose their key man, but that could change if they are able to secure a replacement. Brentford have already sold club captain Christian Norgaard to Arsenal this summer, whilst their top scorer from last season, Bryan Mbeumo, has moved to Manchester United.
Losing Wissa, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season, as well as Norgaard and Mbeumo would be a major blow for Keith Andrews as he embarks on his first season as Bees boss. The DR Congo international returned to training with Brentford earlier this week after leaving their trip to Portugal early to hold talks with sporting director Phil Giles over his future at the club.
