The Sweden international wasn’t named in Howe’s squad for their goalless draw against Aston Villa on Saturday (16 August), while Wissa didn’t make the trip for Brentford’s 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Sunday (17 August).

Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness said: “I think Wissa to Newcastle could end up getting done, and I think they may well do that.

“I don’t think they necessarily need the money to make the two things work, so I think it’s more a case of timing to see what is going to happen with Isak.

“Brentford are going to do all they can to hang on to him, but they’ve got an unhappy player as well.

“That’s going to be where I think the answer will be.”
