Newcastle United's new forward Yoane Wissa could miss the start of their Champions League campaign after suffering a knee injury, while fellow signing Jacob Ramsey will be sidelined until October. Newcastle signed Wissa in a £55m deal on transfer deadline day, also adding Stuttgart's Nick Woltemade in anticipation of Alexander Isak's British-record move to Liverpool. Wissa scored 19 Premier League goals for Brentford last season, with none of them coming from the penalty spot. Only Mohamed Salah (20) netted more non-penalty goals.
Newcastle United suffered a turbulent transfer window, but there were some winners among the chaos. It centred around Alexander Isak, who effectively went on strike to force through a move to Liverpool, a saga which rumbled on right until the end of the window. The Magpies were adamant they would not sell without a suitable replacement coming in, and when that came to fruition, they allowed Isak to leave for 125m.
