Newcastle held the deadline for discussions for 60 million pounds sterling before Yoane Wissa joined
Newcastle United finally found their reinforcements to direct their attack, after having signed Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa, but they watched another target that desperately needed to leave his club on the day of the deadline.
The situation of the Newcastle United striker United
The transfer window finally ended on Monday evening after months of drama, crowned by Alexander Isak joining Liverpool after not having been involved for the Magpies in their premier opening matches.
His absence on Saturday takes on Saturday to Leeds United led the fans to make their voice around his absence heard, although after Fabrizio Romano has clarified some details on the value of his late transfer to Anfield, fans can feel a little more positive about the test.
He said: “Alexander Isak arrives in Liverpool to sign a six -year agreement valid until June 2031. The agreement will cost 125 million pounds Sterling in Liverpool because Newcastle will receive 130 million pounds Sterling – including payment of solidarity.”
In search of his replacement, the Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jorgen Strand Larsen was on the radar of the Magpies despite several offers for the Norwegian star refused. Vitor Pereira would have asked for 65 million pounds sterling for his starry man.
In the end, Yoane Wissa joined Newcastle for costs worth 55 million pounds sterling, bringing the curtain back to a long replacement for Isak.
In the end, the Geordies were linked to a multitude of attackers to replace Isak and reduced a long list before concluding that would arrive in St James’ Park.
While Newcastle fans are delighted with the arrival of Wissa and Woltemade, their window could have been different if the eleventh hour events did not move things in an alternative direction.
Nicolas Jackson was the warned alternative of Newcastle
According to The Sun, Newcastle was in talks to sign the Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson if they could not conclude an agreement with Brentford for Wissa. Incredibly, the Senegal striker refused to return to Chelsea when he was recalled to cover Liam Delap’s injury, and ended up forcing his loan move to Bayern Munich at the 11th hour.
Marc Guiu was called back to Chelsea to take the place of Jackson instead, allowing him to move to Germany on loan with a purchase obligation.
The Magpies had several plates running, but the 24 -year -old was tried near the top of their wishes list and for a price of 60 million pounds sterling. Tagged “Fantastic” by Joe Cole, Jackson recorded 13 goals and six assists in 37 appearances all competitions during the last mandate, although Newcastle has chosen to conclude an agreement for Wissa, which has kept a higher record of 20 strikes in 39 outings.
After months of chaotic action on the market, Howe will feel satisfied with the options available to her in light to lose Isak against Liverpool.
