Newcastle have submitted a fresh offer for Brentford striker Yoane Wissa, according to reports.
This new bid for Wissa - which also includes an extra £5m in add-ons - comes after a £25m bid earlier this summer was rejected by the Bees.
Wissa, 28, missed the Bees’ 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on opening weekend, with his absence linked to transfer speculation, though he returned to training on Tuesday. The Brentford talisman also removed all reference to the club from his social media profiles this week.

The Sweden international issued a statement on Tuesday accusing the club of “broken promises” and declaring his situation “cannot continue.”
