Congo DR international Yoane Wissa is pushing for a move to Newcastle United in the ongoing summer transfer window.
Wissa, who find himself at the center of a transfer standoff has threatened not to play for Brentford should the club refuse to sanction his move to the Magpies.
The 28-year-old striker has attracted interest from the Magpies, who have already made a transfer bid, only to see it rejected.
Frustrated by the stalled negotiations, Wissa has held a one-on-one meeting with Brentford’s leadership, reiterating his desire to exit the club for Newcastle United.
According to the source, the player believes the club is breaking internal agreements, under which he was to be allowed to leave if a suitable offer arrived. Negotiations are expected to continue in the near future.
Wissa’s current contract with Brentford is expected to elapse in the summer of 2026. However, the Premier league club risk losing the forward for free should a move to Newcastle United fall through this summer.
The 28-year-old forward has made 27 appearances for the DR Congo national team, scoring five goals across the period.
