The transfer deal for Wissa is worth £55 million, and he is expected to sign a four-year contract. This move comes as Newcastle prepares to sell striker William Osula to Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt. Osula, 22, has shown promise under manager Eddie Howe, despite never having started a Premier League game.
Frankfurt sees Osula as a striker with great potential, and the club is willing to pay £30 million for him. The transfer deadline is at 7 pm tonight, and Newcastle's announcement of Wissa's signing could happen within a few hours.
