The DR Congo international brings a wealth of experience to the team, having scored 49 goals in 149 games for Brentford. His arrival is expected to bolster Newcastle's striking options and provide a boost to the team's attacking prowess.

Wissa expressed his excitement and gratitude in a statement, saying, "I'm really happy to be here and to sign for one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League. I'm very, very excited to put on the black and white shirt. I've got dreams, I've got faith, and now I will do my best to make it all happen. I'm looking forward to getting started."

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe praised Wissa, saying, "Yoane is a player who we have admired for some time, and we're delighted to have him on board. He brings proven Premier League quality, demonstrated not only by his goalscoring output but also the crucial work he does for the team. Yoane's style of play will excite our supporters and complement our style of play - he has pace, power, and an excellent work rate. He immediately makes us stronger."

The move comes after Wissa made a public plea to Brentford to allow him to join Newcastle, expressing his desire to join the Magpies and fulfill his dreams.
