Yoane Wissa is 'expected to join' Newcastle and with a trusted source revealing the Magpies are moving for an €80m striker too, Alexander Isak to Liverpool is ON

Newcastle will accelerate their pursuit of Yoane Wissa, with Brentford set to sign Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth. Brentford have had a club-record £42.5million bid accepted for Ouattara, who has travelled to London to undergo a medical.

Brentford are closing in on a £42.5million deal for Bournemouth forward Dango Ouattara, talkSPORT understands. A club-to-club agreement is expected imminently, and Ouattara is keen on the move

According to GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Fabrizio Romano, the St James’ Park side are working to bring in the Congolese international ‘as soon as possible’, after Brentford agreed a deal to sign Bournemouth’s Dango Outtara as his replacement.

However, after Benjamin Sesko chose Manchester United over a move to St James’ Park, joining names such as Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, and Mbeumo in turning down Eddie Howe’s side, Wissa is now at the front of the queue.

Brentford boss Keith Andrews says he is looking forward to welcoming back Yoane Wissa to his squad amid interest in the striker from other clubs. Wissa, who scored 19 Premier League goals for Brentford last season, has been the subject of interest from Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest this summer.

Wissa's situation, in particular, sounds very similar to Isak's. It just shows you that this is something that happens in football all the time, and of course it is frustrating when you are on the wrong end of it.

Brentford are breaking their transfer record to bring in Dango Ouattara after talks with Bournemouth finalised a deal worth £42.5million, sources have confirmed to TBR Football. We understand that Ouattara has already agreed personal terms, and he is having his medical in West London on Friday.

Brentford and Bournemouth have reached an agreement for the transfer of Dango Ouattara. The Burkinabé winger will join the Bees for €40 million plus bonuses. The arrival of the Burkinabé winger is expected to pave the way for Yoane Wissa's move to Newcastle.
