Newcastle have had an improved £40m bid for Yoane Wissa rejected by Brentford as they seek to reinforce Eddie Howe’s attack amid uncertainty regarding the future of Alexander Isak.
As Isak trains separately from his Newcastle teammates in an attempt to force a move to Liverpool, Wissa missed Brentford’s 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest last weekend as he, in turn, attempted to push through a transfer to St James’ Park. Newcastle insist Isak will not be allowed to leave the club this summer. Wissa’s potential arrival could yet alter that narrative.
