Newcastle United have officially completed the signing of Congolese forward Yoane Wissa from Brentford in a deal worth £55 million, sealing one of the most dramatic moves of transfer deadline day. The agreement includes £50 million upfront with an additional £5 million in performance-related add-ons, while Brentford will retain a 25% sell-on clause.
The 29-year-old attacker has arrived on Tyneside, successfully passed his medical, and signed a four-year contract with the Magpies. Wissa, who has built a reputation as one of the Premier League’s most versatile and clinical forwards, will wear the iconic number 9 shirt, once graced by legends such as Alan Shearer.
Newcastle’s hierarchy identified Wissa as the ideal replacement to bolster their attack following Alexander Isak’s high-profile exit. His ability to play both centrally and on the wings makes him a perfect fit for Eddie Howe’s dynamic system. Fans are already buzzing with excitement, as Wissa’s direct style, pace, and eye for goal promise to add an extra dimension to Newcastle’s frontline.
This ambitious signing signals Newcastle’s intent to compete at the highest level domestically and in Europe, further underlining their transformation into a genuine powerhouse under new own
ership.
