Football Insider revealed on Friday that after Brentford agreed a £37million deal to sign Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth, the path could now be clear for Wissa to complete his own move to St. James’ Park.

Brentford are closing in on a £42.5million deal for Bournemouth forward Dango Ouattara, talkSPORT understands. A club-to-club agreement is expected imminently, and Ouattara is keen on the move

Brentford have agreed a £42.5million deal for Bournemouth winger Dango Ouattara. Brentford are set to pay a club-record fee for Ouattara, who was authorised to travel for a medical on Friday. Reports suggest that Brentford will pay a £37m fixed fee, plus add-ons, for the Burkina Faso international.

Newcastle United are still keen on Brentford star Yoane Wissa with Eddie Howe seeing the DR Congo star as an ideal replacement for departing Callum Wilson. Wilson has signed for West Ham leaving Howe lacking experienced cover for either Alexander Isak or any new big-name replacement.

Yoane Wissa is 'expected to join' Newcastle and with a trusted source revealing the Magpies are moving for an €80m striker too, Alexander Isak to Liverpool is ON.

However, after Benjamin Sesko chose Manchester United over a move to St James’ Park, joining names such as Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, and Mbeumo in turning down Eddie Howe’s side, Wissa is now at the front of the queue.
