Newcastle are reportedly \u2018ready to finalise a deal\u2019 with a Premier League club to sign their striker for around \u00a335million, as it\u2019s been made \u2018clear\u2019 the star \u2018wants to join\u2019 the Magpies.<\/p>\n
Newcastle<\/strong><\/a> have struggled to convince any of the strikers they have been interested in this summer to join them. They were one of the early names in for Hugo Ekitike, before Premier League champions Liverpool came and muscled them out the way.<\/p>\n The lure of Champions League football and a better wage than Manchester United offered was then not enough to convince RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who is very close to joining United.<\/p>\n As such, there are still multiple names on the Newcastle radar who they may or may not have success for, but there is one standout on the list: Yoane Wissa<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n For months he has been one of their favoured names, and it\u2019s been suggested there has been no rush to land the Brentford man \u2013 who scored 19 Premier League goals last season \u2013 as it\u2019s know he wants to join.<\/p>\n That has been reiterated by Sky Sports man Keith Downie<\/a>, who states Wissa has \u2018made it clear he wants to leave and join Newcastle\u2019 and is \u2018ready to travel\u2019 as soon as he\u2019s given the green light.<\/p>\n That was seemingly the main reason he returned to England from Brentford\u2019s summer training camp.<\/p>\n Downie also states that Newcastle are \u2018ready\u2019 to finalise a deal with the Bees for Wissa, and are hoping it can be \u2018struck quickly\u2019.<\/p>\n The fee in discussion is said to be around \u00a335million, and the striker\u2019s representatives are travelling to England in the hope of completing the deal.<\/p>\n Downie also reiterates reports that Brentford want to sign Bournemouth\u2019s Dango Ouattara.<\/p>\n MORE ON NEWCASTLE FROM F365: That is a very positive development for Newcastle. Indeed, Craig Hope, who covers Newcastle, recently stated that should the Bees make progress there, imminent movement from the Magpies on Wissa is expected<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n He was definitive, stating that the move for the striker \u2018WILL happen\u2019 and he has heard the same as Downie in regards to the \u00a335million price tag, but feels Brentford will ask for more.<\/p>\n The signing could trigger a chain reaction, with Ouattara\u2019s move to Brentford securing Wissa\u2019s move to Newcastle, which in turn could see Liverpool sign Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.<\/p>\n The Magpies have been adamant that Isak is going nowhere until a replacement is signed, and that signing now doesn\u2019t look far away.<\/p>\n
