Newcastle will choose to cut their losses aggressively.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that this move didn&#8217;t go as planned. Wissa has had a fantastic spell at Brentford, scoring 19 Premier League goals in the 2024-25 season and 45 league goals in his entire Brentford career, and looked like a proven Premier League forward.<\/p>\n<p>However, things were very different in Newcastle. ESPN reports that he has only one goal and one assist in 19 Premier League appearances in the 2025\/26 season, with only four of those being starts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Magpie_must_be_regretting_making_a_deal_with_Wisa\"><\/span>Magpie must be regretting making a deal with Wisa.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is a huge drop and explains Newcastle&#8217;s mindset.<\/p>\n<p>Eddie Howe&#8217;s side need more firepower, especially after a disappointing campaign, and there is little point in keeping an expensive forward who is not central to their plans.<\/p>\n<p>Football Insider also claim that the \u00a370m sale of Anthony Gordon to Barcelona has increased Newcastle&#8217;s budget, with much of that expected to be returned to the team.<\/p>\n<p>Selling Wissa would be tough but wise. He&#8217;s not a bad player, but Newcastle signed him at the wrong time and probably for the wrong price.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old will need regular football, but Newcastle need a striker who can truly lead the line and push the attack to another level.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Newcastle&#8217;s Fabrizio Romano shares update on 68-goal striker, receives big transfer boost<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcastle United are reportedly ready to part ways with Yoan Ouissa this summer, and honestly it feels like a decision is getting closer.According to Football Insider, the Magpies want to free the striker&#8217;s wages before moving forward with signing a more attacking player.
