Overview
- Newcastle, which multiple outlets reported Saturday are inviting offers for Yoane Wissa, could accept around £15m to £20m after paying roughly £55m last summer.
- Club sources quoted by The i Paper say the 2025 deadline‑day move from Brentford was driven by urgency over Alexander Isak’s situation and fell outside Newcastle’s usual age profile for signings.
- Wissa has three goals this season and only one in the Premier League, and he has played just 17 league minutes since February 7 as Eddie Howe says he needs a full pre‑season to regain fitness.
- Insiders told The i Paper the forward let his conditioning slide while pushing for the transfer, then picked up an injury on international duty, which left him struggling to match team training loads.
- Newcastle plan to bring in at least one specialist striker and to lower the squad’s age profile, and operating a one‑in, one‑out policy under financial rules makes a cut‑price Wissa sale more likely.
