Newcastle have been attempting to sign Wissa throughout the transfer window, having seen an improved £40million bid rejected for his services on Wednesday (20 August).

Wissa took the unusual step of unfollowing Brentford on Instagram earlier this week after seeing a move to Newcastle blocked.

The 28-year-old wasn’t named in the Brentford squad for their 3-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on 17 August.

“I mean, Brentford is sticking out for the money in the same way that Newcastle’s sticking out for Isak, and that’s it.

“For Keith Andrews, it’s another one he’s got on his plate.”

In terms of other transfer activity, recruitment expert Mick Brown told Football Insider Goncalo Ramos wants to join Newcastle this summer after scouts have been tracking his recent performances. 

The Portugal international initially joined PSG on loan from Benfica in August 2023 before securing a permanent move to the French capital in a £69million deal later that year.
