Newcastle United have officially completed the signing of Yoane Wissa from Brentford in a deal that marks another significant step in the club’s ambitious project under their current ownership. The 27-year-old winger has put pen to paper on a long-term contract at St. James’ Park, bringing his pace, creativity, and goal-scoring ability to Eddie Howe’s squad ahead of the new campaign.
Wissa, who joined Brentford from Lorient in 2021, quickly became a fan favorite for his tireless work rate, versatility, and knack for scoring crucial goals. During his time with the Bees, he established himself as one of the most consistent performers in the Premier League, contributing with goals and assists while also offering flexibility across the front line. His performances, particularly in big games, caught the attention of several top clubs, but it was Newcastle who pushed hardest to secure his services.
The transfer reflects Newcastle’s ongoing determination to strengthen their squad as they aim to compete at the highest level both domestically and in Europe. With Champions League ambitions in mind, Howe and the recruitment team were keen to add more depth and quality in attack, and Wissa fits the bill perfectly. His ability to play on either wing or as a central forward gives Newcastle tactical variety, something that could prove invaluable across a long season.
Speaking after completing the move, Wissa expressed his excitement about joining the Magpies. He praised the vision of the club and the passion of the fans, stating that he is eager to contribute to Newcastle’s journey and fight for silverware. For the supporters, his arrival brings fresh optimism and another sign that the club is serious about cementing its place among the Premier League elite.
As Wissa settles into his new surroundings, Newcastle fans will be eager to see him in action, hoping he can replicate and even surpass the impact he had at Brentford. With his speed, flair, and goal threat, Wissa could prove to be a decisive addition in Newcastle’s quest for glory.
