WHAT HAPPENED?
The recent meeting between Wissa and Andrews appears to have slightly eased what had been a turbulent two weeks between the player and the club. Tensions escalated when Wissa departed the pre-season base without permission, signalling a breakdown in communication and intent. However, both parties were able to sit down at Brentford’s training facility on Wednesday for a frank discussion, as revealed by BBC Sport.

That dialogue has paved the way for Wissa to resume training duties, but the underlying issue of his future has yet to be resolved. The DR Congo international is still eager to leave the club and join Newcastle, motivated in part by the opportunity to play in the UEFA Champions League next season.
DID YOU KNOW?
Sources close to the situation have indicated Brentford are open to selling the forward but only at the right price. Newcastle have already tabled an offer believed to be worth £25 million ($33.5m) with an additional £5 million in potential add-ons. However, Brentford are holding out for a higher fee, viewing Wissa’s value as considerably greater than the Magpies' current proposal. The club’s reluctance to green-light a deal is also tied to their need to bring in a suitable replacement before the transfer window closes on September 1.
AFPWHAT NEXT FOR WISSA?
Relations between player and club have somewhat thawed as Wissa took part in the Premier League’s official media day on Tuesday. The event, used for promotional and broadcast purposes ahead of the upcoming campaign, featured players being filmed and photographed in full club gear. Wissa’s involvement in the media day came just days after he skipped Brentford’s 1-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers in a friendly fixture, further stoking speculation over his future. Whether the forward will feature in the club’s next pre-season match against Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday remains to be seen.
