Newcastle United are reportedly gearing up to push forward in their chase for Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa, as the transfer drama surrounding star striker Alexander Isak continues to rumble on.
With the Magpies determined to strengthen their attacking options before the window closes, the move for Wissa could be the first domino to fall in a chain of big-money deals — and Liverpool are watching closely.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Brentford’s imminent capture of Dango Ouattara should pave the way for Wissa’s long-desired switch to St James’ Park. The 28-year-old is reportedly not in Brentford’s squad this weekend, having made it clear he wants the move.
> “Newcastle are ready to advance for Wissa immediately once Ouattara signs. This deal is a clear priority,” Romano posted.
The question now is whether this signing could accelerate Isak’s departure — potentially opening the door for Liverpool to swoop in with an improved second bid.
While Wissa would be a lively addition to Eddie Howe’s side for the 2025/26 campaign, Newcastle’s hierarchy are still believed to be seeking a blockbuster signing to soften the blow should their prolific Swedish striker leave this summer.
