  • Football Insider reports the club is prepared to take a loss on Wissa’s fee to move him on in the next window.
  • Yoane Wissa admitted he rushed his return from a knee injury and said he wants to do better next season for Newcastle.
  • Eddie Howe said he still believes Wissa and Nick Woltemade can work as a pair and highlighted their link-up off the bench against Arsenal.
  • Nick Woltemade’s minutes and valuation have dipped, with CIES trimming his price range and reports linking Newcastle with striker targets such as Nicolas Jackson.
