Newcastle has been dealt a double blow in its pursuit of a new striker before the end of the transfer window.
The striker is currently training in isolation in an attempt to force the transfer before the window closes.
Meanwhile, Callum Wilson’s free transfer to West Ham has left Newcastle relying on winger Anthony Gordon to fill the striker role in its opening two Premier League fixtures but he has now been suspended for three games after being sent off against Liverpool.
Newcastle has been linked with Wissa for the majority of the transfer window with the striker reportedly going on strike in order to push for a move.
However, Brentford manager Keith Andrews says he hopes the 25-year-old will stay at the club.
I certainly don’t want to lose him."
Newcastle had also hoped to sign Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves who netted a brace for the Molineux side in its Carabao Cup clash against West Ham on Tuesday night.
Wolves chairman Jeff Shi has blocked Strand Larsen from joining Newcastle this summer, despite the Magpies submitting two bids, with the second reportedly totaling $74 million (£55 million).
