Newcastle United are set to go back in for Yoane Wissa after Brentford agreed a £37 million ($50m) fee to sign Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth. The Cherries forward has given the green light for a switch to the Gtech Community Stadium, with final formalities expected within days. Ouattara’s arrival effectively ends Brentford’s resistance to selling the DR Congo striker.

Newcastle United are keeping their eye on a number of strikers this summer amid the uncertainty over Alexander Isak's future as the Swedish striker continues to push for a move to Liverpool. Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson has been discussed as an option, however, it has been reported that the Magpies are still undecided over whether they want to make a move for the Senegalese.
Newcastle United remain keen on signing Brentford forward Yoane Wissa before the transfer deadline – but see him as a replacement for Callum Wilson rather than wantaway star Alexander Isak. With Liverpool pushing to lure Isak to Anfield, the Magpies are keen on increasing their number of options in attack but believe that replacing Wilson with Wissa is the right option.
Alexander Isak is reportedly "adamant" that his Newcastle career is over, even if his proposed transfer to Liverpool does not materialise. The Swedish striker is said to have no intention of pulling on a Magpies shirt again as his relationship with the club hierarchy has hit an all-time low.
