Newcastle United is actively exploring new attacking options in the ongoing summer transfer window, amid uncertainty surrounding the future of their main striker, Alexander Isak. Reports indicate that the club has identified Congolese forward Yoane Wissa, currently at Brentford, as one of its top targets to strengthen the front line.

Liverpool Tempts Isak… But Newcastle Holds Firm
Isak’s desire to experience a new challenge away from St. James’ Park has reportedly grown recently, especially after receiving a lucrative offer from Liverpool. However, Newcastle remains keen on keeping the striker due to his crucial role in the squad and the lack of immediate alternatives in his position—making his departure difficult for the club to accept.

Sesko Deal Collapse Shifts Club’s Focus
Newcastle had previously set their sights on Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko, the RB Leipzig star, as one of their early summer targets. However, Manchester United managed to secure the player after reaching an agreement with both the player and the German club. This development has pushed the Magpies to explore other options in the market.

Wissa Open to Newcastle Move
According to Sky Sports, Yoane Wissa has expressed his initial willingness to join Newcastle. Direct negotiations are currently underway between the two clubs in hopes of reaching an agreement that satisfies all parties involved.

Brentford’s Transfer Activity May Clear the Path
Meanwhile, Brentford is working on finalizing a deal for striker Ouattara. If completed, this signing could accelerate Wissa’s departure, potentially paving the way for his move to Newcastle before the transfer window closes.
