Newcastle United have Brentford's Yoane Wissa on their radar (as called by @David_Ornstein@sportsbots.xyz) and are set to make an approach to Brentford.

£50m+ valuation as Brentford can extend Wissa's contract until 2026 and protect his value.

Brentford don't want to lose Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo in the same window, so #NUFC interest in the former could impact Manchester United as well.

Newcastle wanted quick clarity on Ekitike and lost confidence on Wednesday that a deal was possible, as revealed on talkSPORT.🇨🇬

🚨 Newcastle are interested in Brentford forward Yoane Wissa. 
⚽️ They are in the market for a striker knowing that they could miss out on Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool. 
🇫🇷 Ekitike move isn’t dead but as reported on Tuesday, going to be difficult with Liverpool also at the table.
💰 Wissa is valued +£30m - with one year left on his Bees contract, plus an option.
⚽️ The 28-year-old scored 19 goals last season.  
💸 Nottingham Forest had a bid of around £25m turned down for Wissa earlier this window. 
❓ Spurs had also been interested in Wissa but the arrival of Mohammed Kudus has lessened the need for the addition of Wissa.
