Newcastle United's manager, Eddie Howe, is looking to strengthen his team's attacking lineup. The club's £25 million bid for Wissa was rejected by Brentford, who are reluctant to sell their players this summer. Wissa's disappointment at the decision is understandable, given his desire to join a new club.
Despite the rejection, Newcastle United is still interested in signing Wissa. However, they will now explore other options for a new striker. This development comes as a surprise, given the club's recent transfer request from Alexander Isak.
