Brentford have now agreed incoming signing – Allowing Yoane Wissa move to Newcastle United | OneFootball

Yoane Wissa could now be finally set to complete his long awaited move to Newcastle United.

The transfer has been held up for some weeks now, due to the fact that Brentford wanted to bring in a new attacking signing before allowing Wissa to follow Bryan Mbeumo out of the door.

That Brentford target has been repeatedly reported as Bournemouth’s Dango Ouattara, with the Cherries also said to have been waiting to land one of their own attacking targets before letting Ouattara go.

The Yoane Wissa NUFC move looks now to be imminent, as Brentford have finally reached agreement on a deal to buy the Bournemouth attacking player.

David Ornstein of The Athletic states that a £42m deal has been agreed, with Brentford paying a guaranteed £37m for Dango Ouattara, with £5m of future add-ons.

Ornstein saying Ouattara travelling to London today to take his medical and complete the move to Brentford.

It wouldn’t be the greatest surprise if Brentford are then looking to recoup a similar transfer fee from Newcastle United to cover that purchase.

Yoane Wissa will be Callum Wilson’s replacement at Newcastle United, when/if he moves from Brentford. The Alexander Isak situation separate to this, as Eddie Howe will still need either Isak or a replacement to be the main striker.

With Elanga, Ramsdale and Thiaw already signed and Jacob Ramsey set to be announced. If Yoane Wissa can be quickly added, this could be very much a transfer window transformed, as Eddie Howe looks to assemble a squad able to compete on four fronts next season.
