The Bee’s want another forward to come into the club, as they see Ouattara as a replacement for Bryan Mbeumo, as well as demanding a price of £60million before sanctioning his exit to St James’ Park.

Newcastle believe Wissa has bought into a move to the North East but are reluctant to offer more than £40m given the forward’s age and the fact he only has one year remaining on his deal.
