Morning Transfer Shockwave đ¨ â Romano Tips Newcastle to Pounce on Premier League Forward, Liverpool Waiting in the Wings
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 â and Liverpool are watching closely.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Brentfordâs imminent capture of Dango Ouattara should pave the way for Wissaâs long-desired switch to St Jamesâ Park. The 28-year-old is reportedly not in Brentfordâs squad this weekend, having made it clear he wants the move.
> âNewcastle are ready to advance for Wissa immediately once Ouattara signs. This deal is a clear priority,â Romano posted.
The question now is whether this signing could accelerate Isakâs departure â potentially opening the door for Liverpool to swoop in with an improved second bid.
While Wissa would be a lively addition to Eddie Howeâs side for the 2025/26 campaign, Newcastleâs hierarchy are still believed to be seeking a blockbuster signing to soften the blow should their prolific Swedish striker leave this summer.
