Newcastle have reportedly agreed to pay Brentford £55million in exchange for Yoane Wissa after approving Alexander Isak’s transfer to Liverpool. The Magpies have been planning for life without Isak, who has dug his heels in over a move to Anfield this summer.
Newcastle have endured a difficult summer, with Isak missing his side’s tour of Asia with a “minor thigh injury” before telling club chiefs he has no intention of reintegrating with his team-mates. Magpies chiefs visited his home at the start of last week but were reportedly told once again by Isak that he wants to leave. Newcastle have been chasing two strikers to fill the void that Isak’s departure will create. And it appears the north east giants have got their way, with Nick Woltemade joining the Magpies from Stuttgart over the weekend for a club record transfer fee.
