Overview
- Reports Tuesday say Newcastle are open to selling Yoane Wissa this summer less than a year after his £55m move.
- After a knee injury delayed his debut, Wissa has three goals in 24 games and has told sources he wants to stay at St James’ Park.
- Newcastle are assessing striker options, with coverage linking Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson after Bayern confirmed his loan will not become permanent.
- Eddie Howe has backed record signing Nick Woltemade even as his role has shifted to midfield and his minutes have dipped, and club sources say his Instagram bio change was routine.
- Newcastle are 14th in the Premier League and likely to miss Europe, increasing pressure to correct recent recruitment misses under financial constraints.
