Yoane Wissa, the dynamic 28-year-old centre-forward currently with Brentford, is on the radar for a potential move to Newcastle.
Known for his impressive agility and scoring prowess, Wissa has had a standout season, netting 19 goals and providing 4 assists in 35 matches.
Newcastle, currently sitting 5th in the Premier League with 66 points and a Champions League berth, could certainly benefit from Wissa’s goal-scoring ability. Brentford, on the other hand, are in a comfortable mid-table position, currently 10th with 56 points.
Wissa, a DR Congo national, has shown his worth in the Premier League, and a move to a club competing in the Champions League could be a natural progression in his career. However, with his contract at Brentford running until June 30, 2026, any potential transfer would likely command a substantial fee.
As of today, August 9, 2025, we are in the midst of the transfer window, which remains open until August 31. As such, there is plenty of time for negotiations to take place. Given Wissa’s form and potential, it will be interesting to see how this potential transfer unfolds.
