Newcastle goes on to other goals with a deal for Brentford Striker Yoane Wissa who currently looks unlikely.
Newcastle has been told to considerably increase their offer or to run away from the transfer, to the great frustration of Wissa and his representatives, who have made it clear that he only wants to add to them.
The side of Eddie Howe had rejected an £ 25 million bid and was willing to increase their offer. Wissa feels that he might not get the chance to play Champions League football again.
Newcastle was in the row Wissa to be a second choice at RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko if Alexander Isak would leave the club.
The 28-year-old left the training camp for the Brentford season in Portugal earlier this week and went back to the UK for conversations with the club's hierarchy about his future.
Sky Sports News reported that Brentford does not want to sell him after they had sold Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United for £ 71 million.
The pair scored 39 Premier League goals between them last season, so the club is sharply aware of the risk of having both leave, especially without replacements.
After losing Mbeumo, Captain Christian Norgaard and head coach Thomas Frank this summer, the West -London club is not about to dismantle their entire team.
Despite reports from different figures, Brentford has not appreciated Wissa and every appreciation they had for him in January has now increased after the sale of Mbeumo.
Nottingham Forest had rejected an offer of approximately £ 25 million earlier this summer and Tottenham was also interested.
Brentford still has to replace Mbeumo, but remain interested in Omari Hutchinson in Ipswich, after a potential deal has fallen due to the payment structure last week.
