Newcastle have made a new bid worth £35m plus add-ons for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa.
The add-ons are understood to be worth up to a further £5m which could take the total to £40m.
This came after new contact between the two clubs on Wednesday. Newcastle had a £25m bid rejected by Brentford for Wissa earlier this summer.
Wissa was absent for Brentford’s opening weekend fixture – a 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest – with Keith Andrews confirming his absence was linked to the speculation around the forward’s future.
The west Londoners have already lost Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United for £71m, captain Christian Norgaard to Arsenal and former head coach Thomas Frank moved to Spurs.
The 28-year-old was, however, seen in Brentford training on Tuesday. The Bees’ next fixture is a home game against Aston Villa on Saturday at 3pm.
Yoane Wissa was spotted training with Brentford despite his ongoing Newcastle transfer saga.
The new bid for Wissa comes after more uncertainty regarding Alexander Isak‘s future.
The Newcastle forward put out an explosive statement on Tuesday night regarding his transfer stand-off – saying his future with the Magpies “cannot continue” over “broken promises” made by the club.
This is after Liverpool saw a £110m bid rejected by Newcastle earlier this summer.
Isak has not yet featured for Eddie Howe’s side in matches since Newcastle returned to pre-season duty. He has been spotted at the club’s training ground but has trained away from the first-team, who have started the new Premier League season.
What does Wissa deal mean for Isak future?
Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie has the latest from Newcastle’s training ground as the club and striker Alexander Isak go head-to-head about a possible move to Liverpool.
Sky Sports News’ Keith Downie:
If Newcastle sign two strikers between now and the end of the window – and that’s unlikely in the time left, which Newcastle alluded to in their statement – then Alexander Isak is likely to go.
But if they get one striker, such as Yoane Wissa, and Liverpool make an eye-watering offer for Isak – of around £130m to £135m – then Newcastle might have a big decision to make.
There is an outside chance of Isak’s departure happening in those circumstances. But it would leave Newcastle very light on striker reinforcements.
It’s going to be a very tense last couple of weeks, it feels like a line in the sand was drawn from both parties last night, and Newcastle’s stance on the issue has hardened on the back of Isak’s statements.
There is a feeling that Isak has done himself no favours by making that statement.

College Football Preview 2025: Syracuse Orange
2024 Recap Despite never having been a head coach before, Fran Brown hit the ground running in his first year at Syracuse. The Orange finished 10-3 and ranked No. 20 in the final AP Poll, their best season in six years. A major reason for that success was Ohio State transfer quarterback Kyle McCord, who led the nation with 4,779 passing yards — 466 more than any other player. While McCord is now gone, Syracuse could still field a strong passing attack in 2025 with Notre Dame transfer Steve Angeli under center and a promising group of wide receivers. Improvement on defense will be key, particularly along the defensive front. Unfortunately for the Orange, they face the toughest schedule in the ACC, with nearly all of their biggest games scheduled to take place on the road. Biggest Strength: A passing […]

College Football Preview 2025: Stanford Cardinal
2024 Recap Stanford’s first season in the ACC looked much like its final three in the Pac-12. The Cardinal finished 3-9 for the fourth consecutive year, marking the program’s worst four-year stretch since 1958–61. In search of a new direction, Stanford brought in former star quarterback Andrew Luck as its general manager. One of Luck's first moves was firing head coach Troy Taylor. He then hired Frank Reich — his former head coach with the Indianapolis Colts in 2019 — as Stanford’s interim coach. Reich, who brings six years of NFL head coaching experience, faces an uphill battle revitalizing an offense that struggled last season and now enters 2025 without its starting quarterback and top two receivers. Biggest Strength: A solid second and third levels of the defense Stanford returns four of five starters from its secondary, including standout cornerback […]

Hurzeler: It’s not a one-man show at Brighton – we’re a family
Everton, away. That is where Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler's Premier League story began just over a year ago. While Sunday's return to Merseyside will be in a brand-new stadium, memories of that Goodison Park bow in August 2024 will be forever etched in the young manager's mind. "I thought I'd prepared myself, but when the game started I was just impressed by how loud it was, how intense the Premier League is," Hurzerler tells Sky Sports. "I remember very well how my emotions felt. It was a nice feeling afterwards, but during the game it was a tough experience and one that I learned a lot from. Overall, it was an experience I wanted, it was very positive."A 3-0 victory set the youngest permanent Premier League head coach off on the front foot. Another step on a journey that […]
