Newcastle confirmed the signing of Nick Woltemade earlier within the weekend, and they’re planning to usher in one other striker – which might open the door for Alexander Isak to affix Liverpool in a deal that will break the British switch file.
At this stage, Newcastle are selecting between two targets: Yoane Wissa and Jorgen Strand Larsen. Each gamers have requested to affix the Champions League aspect, though it’s the former that’s going to better lengths to get his transfer.

Newcastle able to make one other supply for Yoane Wissa
Based on Pete O’Rourke (by way of Soccer Insider), Wissa’s assertion has put him in pole place to affix Newcastle, though it’s nonetheless removed from sure {that a} deal is agreed with Brentford earlier than the switch window closes.
“Eddie Howe would love to usher in one other striker. If (Newcastle) do resolve to place their pursuit of Strand Larsen on the back-burner, they are going to enhance their supply and attempt to get a deal finished for Wissa. It’s now wanting extra doubtless than it did after the assertion. Nevertheless, Brentford would wish time to usher in a alternative as nicely.”
Earlier this week, it was reported that Brentford upped their asking value to £65m, which might virtually actually value Newcastle out of a transfer. Nevertheless, this valuation might come down in the event that they had been to usher in a alternative within the subsequent 24-36 hours.
For now, it stays to be seen how this case performs out. If Wissa doesn’t get his transfer to Newcastle, it’ll be attention-grabbing to see whether or not he’s reintegrated at Brentford.
