The English transfer market has given us a new suspense worthy of a thriller: Yoane Wissa has officially joined Newcastle… but not without thrills.

The transfer of the offensive midfielder from Brentford was finalized at… 30 seconds from the market closing! Yes, you read that right: thirty short seconds.

According to Sky Sports information, negotiations between Newcastle and Brentford were tense until the end, with agents and executives literally running against the clock to close the deal.

The transfer amount finally amounts to 63.5 million euros, a significant investment that makes Wissa one of the club's key recruits this summer.
