Newcastle to press on with Wissa transfer after Brentford agree Outtara deal - Soccer News
Briefly

Newcastle aims to expedite the signing of Yoane Wissa from Brentford as the Bees finalize a deal for Dango Ouattara as a replacement. Wissa will not play against Nottingham Forest as the season begins. This move is critical for Newcastle, especially with Alexander Isak refusing to train and pushing for a transfer amidst Liverpool's interest. A previous offer for Wissa was declined, and with Callum Wilson's departure, there is growing urgency to enhance the squad's striker options, leading to potential additional signings after Wissa.
Newcastle are set to advance in their plan to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford as soon as possible. Brentford has agreed a deal with Bournemouth to sign Dango Ouattara as a replacement.
With the Premier League season starting this weekend, Wissa will not be a part of Brentford's squad to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Alexander Isak is currently refusing to train and determined not to play for the club again amid interest from Liverpool, making the Wissa deal more pressing.
Newcastle have had one rejected offer for Wissa, with the player initially seen as a replacement for Callum Wilson, who left as a free agent.
