Newcastle is interested in Brentford Forward Yoane Wissa.
The magpies are looking for a striker, knowing that they can miss Eintracht Frankfurt, Hugo Ekitike in the midst of interest from Liverpool.
Newcastle saw a club record offer of £ 70 million rejected by the Bundesliga Club for Ekitike.
Sky Sports News understands that Wissa is appreciated around £ 30 million – with another year transfer to his bee contract – but other sources have claimed that the figure is closer to £ 40 million.
The 28-year-old Congo International scored 19 goals in his 35 Premier League performances last season.
Nottingham Forest had rejected an offer of approximately £ 25 million for Wissa earlier this window.
Tottenham was also interested in the attacker, but the arrival of Mohammed Kudus has reduced the need for the addition of Wissa.
If Newcastle or a club closes a deal for Wissa, this would have consequences for the pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo of Manchester United.
SSN reported that Brentford is very unlikely that both players sell. The departure of Wissa would make it incredibly difficult for Brentford to also sell Mbeumo.
It is seen by the club as a too important loss of attacking talent and goals after they have lost all their head coach Thomas Frank and Captain Christian Norgaard this summer.
