Yoane Wissa has joined Newcastle United from Brentford for £55million. Brentford resisted his departure despite only one year remaining on his contract and had sought a fee near £60m after losing Bryan Mbeumo. Newcastle completed the move after recording the £125m sale of Alexander Isak to Liverpool on deadline day, freeing funds to secure the transfer. Wissa expressed excitement to wear the black and white shirt and pledged to work to achieve his ambitions at the club. Head coach Eddie Howe highlighted Wissa's Premier League quality, pace, power and excellent work rate, saying he immediately strengthens the team.
