Brentford is ready to honor his wishes and sanctions his departure at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Newcastle_sign_Joane_Wissa\"><\/span>Can Newcastle sign Joane Wissa?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0 py-2 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">It will be interesting to see if Newcastle comes forward with an offer to sign him right now. The player scored 20 goals last season, potentially showing him as a great addition for Newcastle. They are expected to lose Alexander Isaac during the summer transfer period, and Wissa could be a quality alternative. He wants to play for a big club next season, and Newcastle could offer him Champions League football. The opportunity to join Magpies is extremely exciting for him. The 28-year-old is at the peak of his career, and this is the ideal time for him to join a larger club. He welcomes the opportunity to show off his abilities in the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0 py-2 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">Meanwhile, his desire to leave will be a major blow to Brentford. They have already lost Brian Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard at the beginning of the summer. Former manager Thomas Frank also left the club for Tottenham, so Brentford appears ready for a major rebuild.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Newcastle_needs_quality_strikers\"><\/span>Newcastle needs quality strikers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/southampton-fc-v-brentford-fc-premier-league-1-414x276.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/southampton-fc-v-brentford-fc-premier-league-1-630x420.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/southampton-fc-v-brentford-fc-premier-league-1-768x512.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/southampton-fc-v-brentford-fc-premier-league-1-770x513.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/southampton-fc-v-brentford-fc-premier-league-1-900x600.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/southampton-fc-v-brentford-fc-premier-league-1-1200x800.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/southampton-fc-v-brentford-fc-premier-league-1-1536x1024.jpg.webp 1536w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/southampton-fc-v-brentford-fc-premier-league-1-2048x1365.jpg.webp 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yoane Wissa is being targeted by Newcastle United (Photo: Dan Istitene\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"my-0 py-2 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">Newcastle, meanwhile, is overly dependent on ISAK, and will need multiple attack options this summer. They have failed to sign players like Benjamin Sesco, and it will be interesting to see if Wissa&#8217;s transfer can be completed before the window closes. Ideally, if ISAK finally leaves, they should target two quality strikers.
