Yoane Wissa transfer news: Newcastle still want to sign Brentford striker but willing to assess other options

Newcastle United still wants to sign Yoane Wissa, but will look at other options if Brentford's demands are too high.

Newcastle has a prize in mind that they are willing to pay for the attacker, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season. They have already rejected an £ 25 million offer.

One source has told that Sky Sports News Wissa is not going to return to Brentford training and he feels disappointed about the approach of the club in conversations.

Wissa wants to become a member of Newcastle and wants to play Champions League football because he thinks he might not get any other chance.

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, Brentford is not about to dismantle their entire team.

Brentford still has to replace Mbeumo, but remain interested in Omari Hutchinson on Ipswich, after a potential deal had previously fallen into the window through the payment structure.

Andrews: Wissa returns to Brentford Training

“He went back to London. It was his decision, of course because of speculation,” Andrews told Brentford's club media after his first game in a 1-1 draw against Gil Vicente.

“Clubs are interested and he thought it was good to go back to London.

“It's really simple, he folds back in the group next week when we return to training.”
