Brentford turn down Newcastle’s bid for Yoane Wissa
Newcastle want to sign a striker, or two, before even considering the idea that Alexander Isak will be allowed to leave the club this summer.
But they have been frustrated in their attempts to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford, with a bid of £40m turned down for the striker.
Wissa did not play for Brentford last weekend and has taken an Isak-style approach to get his move.

Tottenham face major obstacle if they are to sign Morgan Rogers
Tottenham Hotspur have made Morgan Rogers a priority target after missing out on Eberechi Eze, and contact has already been made with intermediaries to see if a deal is possible.
Aston Villa do not want to sell a young star who on Tuesday won PFA Young Player of the Year, but there is a feeling that a proper bid might change things, especially as the Birmingham club continue to face PSR constraints.
One huge obstacle for Spurs is that Rogers is expected to cost considerably more than Eze, given that he has a contract until 2030.
