Newcastle offer for Yoane Wissa turned down, told to pay £60 million

Newcastle United are interested in signing the Brentford striker Yoane Wissa this summer.

They have reportedly submitted an offer for around £40 million, including bonuses for the player. However, Brentford have now turned it down. According to journalist Alex Crook, Newcastle will have to put together a package of around £60 million to get the deal done.

Can Newcastle get the deal done?

It will be interesting to see if they are willing to come back with an improved offer for the 28-year-old striker. Wissa scored 20 goals in all competitions last season, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition. Newcastle need to replace Callum Wilson this summer, and the DR Congo international would be the ideal fit. He has been labelled as a “great” player in the past.

On the other hand, Alexander Isak has been linked with an exit from the club. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle can replace him before letting him move on. Ideally, they need to sign a couple of quality strikers this summer. They have failed to bring in multiple players already, and it remains to be seen whether they can get a deal done for Wissa.
