Newcastle United assesses the options to strengthen their line before the new season, Yoane Wissa de Brentford emerging as a serious candidate to provide depth and quality alongside Alexander Isak.
After the departure of Callum Wilson, the Magpies are determined to ensure that manager Eddie Howe has sufficient firepower during the attack next season.
The release of Wilson leaves an important gap in terms of experience and reliability of objectives, making the addition of a reliable deputy for Isak an absolute priority in the summer plans of Newcastle.
Newcastle United admires Brentford Star Yoane Wissa
According to the Daily Mail, there are figures within the Newcastle recruitment team which are solid Wissa admirers, recognizing its proven capacity to deliver in the Premier League and its versatility throughout the front line.
The Brentford striker scored 20 goals all competitions last season in 39 appearances.
The experience of the Congolese international in the Premier League guarantees that it could adapt transparently to St James’ Park, reducing the bedding period which often comes with players arriving from other leagues.
His work ethics and his style of attack would add an additional dimension to the attack on Newcastle and also provide Isak with the necessary rest he needs in a demanding season for the Magpies who will also have to play football from the Champions League next season.
Wissa would be an ideal backup for Isak
With Brentford holding closes on their large assessment of the Manchester United Bryan Mbeumo target, they expect them to do for Wissa.
To lose two of their best attackers in the same window would be disastrous for Brentford, but if they would receive a substantial offer, they would be open to the sale of their attacker duo.
While Dominic Calvert-Lewin is also a target for the Magpies this summer, Wissa is a much better option given its record for rating objectives and problems of Calvert-Lewin with injuries.
