Newcastle United is in a race against time to secure the signing of Yoane Wissa, current forward of Brentford, who has become the top priority to strengthen their attack for the second half of the season.

According to sources close to the club, the management has intensified negotiations in recent days to close the signing of the 28-year-old Congolese striker as soon as possible.

The urgency of the move is due to a complicated situation in the squad: Alexander Isak, the starting forward and offensive reference of the team, continues to rebel, refusing to play official matches. The Swedish international has made it clear to the management that his goal is to sign with Liverpool, creating a void upfront that Newcastle cannot afford to prolong.

In this context, Yoane Wissa emerges as the ideal candidate to take over. His versatility, ability to play as a pure nine or starting from the wings, and his scoring instinct fit perfectly with Eddie Howe's idea to maintain the team's competitive level in the Premier League and in European competitions.

Isak continues to push for Liverpool move

According to 'SkySports', Newcastle has already submitted an initial formal offer, and talks with Brentford have progressed in recent hours. The London club, aware of Wissa's importance in their setup, is not willing to let him go for a low fee. The transfer fee could exceed £30 million, although St. James’ Park believes it is a necessary investment to keep their aspirations alive.

Yoane Wissa's performance this season has been consistent, standing out for his speed, off-ball movement, and ability to decide important matches. Additionally, his experience in the Premier League allows him to adapt immediately, a key factor for a Newcastle that cannot afford long adaptation periods.

Eddie Howe's coaching staff values not only his offensive impact but also his defensive intensity, something the English coach considers essential for his style of play. At a time when the Magpies need to reinforce the squad with guarantees, Wissa represents a proven quality option.

Pressure on Newcastle is high, especially due to the tension caused by the Alexander Isak situation, whose future seems to be drifting further away from the club. If the deal is finalized, Yoane Wissa could make his debut in the coming weeks, providing freshness and goals at a decisive moment in the season.

With the winter transfer market approaching, fans are expecting positive news. Wissa's signing would not only be a relief after Isak's rebellion but also a statement of intent: Newcastle United aims to continue competing at the highest level and is not willing to let the departure of a star hinder its ambition.
