Brentford forward Yoane Wissa has arrived at Newcastle’s training ground to undergo a medical examination, putting him one step closer to completing a major transfer. The deal, reported to be worth around £55 million, is expected to be one of the most significant moves of the transfer window.
This transfer is part of Newcastle’s plan to strengthen its attack, especially after selling striker Alexander Isak to Liverpool. Wissa will join fellow newcomer Nick Woltemade, who recently arrived from VfB Stuttgart, in a refreshed forward line for the Magpies.
✍️ ## Finalizing the Deal Yoane Wissa is expected to sign a four-year contract with Newcastle once his medical is complete. The total transfer fee is reportedly a £50 million package with an additional £5 million in potential add-ons. He is also set to take the iconic No. 9 shirt, a number with a rich history at the club.
➡️ ## The Path to Newcastle The transfer follows a period of negotiation, as Brentford had turned down two previous offers from Newcastle earlier in the summer. Wissa recently made his intentions clear by publicly stating his desire for a move, which appears to have helped the deal progress. The 28-year-old has not played for Brentford this season while the transfer talks were ongoing.
🎯 ## A Proven Goalscorer Wissa brings a strong track record to his new club. Last season, he had an impressive run in the Premier League, scoring 19 goals. Throughout his time at Brentford, he made 149 appearances and scored 49 goals, demonstrating his consistent ability to find the net. Fans will be eager to see him in a Newcastle shirt as the club looks to boost its offensive power.
