Should £50m Wissa have avoided Shearer’s Newcastle No.9 shirt?

Yoane Wissa made the brave decision to take on Newcastle’s No.9 shirt when completing a £55 million ($75m) transfer to St James’ Park, and Paul-Jose M’Poku has told GOAL why that call can still be justified. The former Brentford striker has endured a testing debut campaign on Tyneside, but a fellow countryman is confident that peak form will be rediscovered in time.

Newcastle's Wissa left out of Congo squad for AFCON

Newcastle forward Yoane Wissa has been left out of the DR Congo squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, which is slated to commence on December 21. Although the decision will be a shock for the forward, it should benefit the Magpies, who are still waiting to see their £55 million summer signing in action. The 29-year-old has not featured for the Premier League club since arriving from Brentford due to a knee injury suffered on international duty just days after completing his move.

The Swede has struggled for form following his record breaking move to Liverpool on deadline day, with his only goal for the Reds coming in a Carabao Cup win over Championship side Southampton back in September.

Man Utd's Mbeumo transfer at risk — PL side launch bid for Wissa

Manchester United’s pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo has hit a major roadblock after Brentford received a fresh bid for Yoane Wissa from Nottingham Forest. With the Bees unwilling to sell both of their star forwards this summer, Mbeumo’s proposed move to Old Trafford is now in serious doubt — and the Red Devils may be forced to accelerate talks for the Cameroonian or look elsewhere.
