Andrews also mentioned that he was unsure about Wissa's future with the team. Recently, Brentford signed Dango Ouattara for £42 million, which some people thought would make Wissa available for transfer. However, the coach clarified that Ouattara's arrival was meant to replace Bryan Mbeumo, who left for Manchester United. This news is disappointing for Newcastle, as they were hoping to sign Wissa.
Now, it's reported that Brentford is asking for £60 million for Wissa, up from their initial price of £50 million. This is after they rejected a £30 million offer from Newcastle earlier in the summer. If a deal with Wissa doesn't happen, it could affect Newcastle's chances of signing Isak from Liverpool, who has been training away from the squad.
