Wissa joins Newcastle United | OneFootball

Yoane Wissa has joined Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee.

The forward signed from French club Lorient in August 2021 and scored 49 goals in 149 appearances for Brentford.

In his first season, Wissa scored 10 goals in all competitions and then added another seven in 2022/23.

Wissa missed part of the 2023/24 campaign at the Africa Cup of Nations with DR Congo, where his nation were beaten by South Africa on penalties in the third-place play-off, but hit his best patch of form in a Brentford shirt on his return.

Wissa ended that season with a run of eight goals and two assists in 15 games helping him to become the Bees’ top scorer.

During the 2024/25 campaign Wissa became the club's record Premier League goalscorer (45), surpassing Ivan Toney's previous record of 36. He ended the season with 19 top-flight goals.
