Newcastle United Reach Verbal Agreement for Yoane Wissa Transfer<\/h2>\n

Attacking Transfer Saga Finally Over<\/h3>\n
\n

One of the most talked-about sagas in the summer transfer window appears to be over, with Romano reporting that Newcastle and Brentford had reached a verbal agreement for Wissa.<\/p>\n

Wissa recently made it clear he wanted to leave Brentford and move to Newcastle: \u00a0“Over the past few weeks, there has been increased speculation about my future at Brentford Football Club. As a result, I wanted to speak directly and honestly about exactly where things stand.<\/p>\n

“I have stayed silent for much of the summer, but with just hours remaining of the transfer window I feel compelled make it clear that I want to leave Brentford. I believe the club are unduly standing in my way despite a series of fair offers throughout the summer.<\/p>\n

“I have always given 100 per cent for Brentford since the day I signed back in 2021. I am proud of what we have built together and have never taken the opportunity to play for the club for granted.<\/p>\n

“Brentford fans will always have a special place in my heart. And I have always conducted myself professionally, both on and off the pitch. It has been a privilege to wear this shirt for 149 games and celebrate 49 goals.<\/p>\n

“Earlier this summer, I held open discussions with the club’s senior management, including key directors and the new head coach. I made clear my intention to explore a new challenge.<\/p>\n

“During these conversations, it was confirmed to me and my representatives that the club would not stand in my way if a reasonable offer was received. This was also put in writing.\u201d (The full statement can be read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yoane Wissa<\/h3>\n

Wissa will have big shoes to fill, with Isak moving to Liverpool, but the 28-year-old could be a huge signing for Eddie Howe. He\u2019s a versatile attacker who can play as the main focal point of the attack or as a winger. He will bring power and pace to the Newcastle attack as well as a keen eye for goal.<\/p>\n
