Newcastle United fans are still waiting to see Yoane Wissa make his debut after joining from Brentford.
Newcastle United’s transfer deadline day centred around two attackers.
Alexander Isak joined Liverpool after weeks of drama, while Yoane Wissa joined the Magpies from Brentford.
In truth, both players are waiting for their season to take off.
Isak has been slammed for his Liverpool struggles, while Wissa hasn’t even been able to make his Toon debut.

Yoane Wissa’s Newcastle United debut could be on the horizon
Wissa suffered an injury on international duty with DR Congo in September and hasn’t yet returned to action.
Nick Woltemade is shouldering Newcastle’s attacking burden on his own right now, and Eddie Howe really needs Wissa back sooner rather than later.
The Telegraph now claim that Wissa could be named on the bench against Everton on 29 November.

Newcastle want to give Wissa time to fully prepare himself for Premier League action, almost mirroring a pre-season schedule.
That means Wissa’s debut could come in just over a fortnight, though it’s added that this proposed debut could be pushed back to early December.
Wissa is working around the clock to get himself back fit again, and his debut in black and white stripes surely isn’t far away now.
Newcastle United need Yoane Wissa in action ahead of Sunderland clash
The international break will hopefully help Wissa ramp up his return to action, and there are big games on the horizon.
A substitute appearance against Everton would tee Wissa up for more action against Tottenham Hotspur, Burnley and Bayer Leverkusen.
By the time the clash with Sunderland comes around on 14 December, Wissa will hopefully be up to speed and ready to play.
Newcastle simply must turn up against Sunderland, and having Wissa involved, either from the bench or from the start, would be a huge boost.
Whether Newcastle deploy Wissa out wide or up front, he will be a crucial addition to Eddie Howe’s attack, and his debut simply cannot come soon enough, especially after some poor attacking displays in recent weeks.
