OFFICIAL: Yoane Wissa completes move to Newcastle United
Newcastle have officially signed striker Yoane Wissa from Brentford in a £55 million deal, reinforcing their attacking options following Alexander Isak’s departure.
Newcastle United has officially announced the signing of Yoane Wissa from Brentford in a deal worth £55 million. The 28-year-old Congolese striker arrives to bolster the Magpies' attack following the departure of Alexander Isak.
Wissa will sign his contract and undergo a medical on Monday to join Eddie Howe's project. Wissa's arrival comes after Newcastle also confirmed the signing of Nick Woltemade as part of an offensive revamp.
Brentford formally accepted Newcastle's offer, allowing the transfer to be expedited. Last season, Yoane Wissa stood out with 20 goals and four assists in 39 games, putting in a remarkable performance.
His mobility and versatility allow him to play both as a centre forward and from the wing, providing the team with different tactical options.
Manager Eddie Howe is confident that these new signings will help maintain the team's competitive level following the squad's reshuffle.
