JAKARTA - Newcastle United almost reached an agreement worth 55 million pounds (around Rp1.2 trillion) for Brentford striker Yoane Wissa. According to ESPN, the player is scheduled to undergo a medical test on Monday, September 1, 2025, local time.

After Newcastle United approved a 130 million England record transfer fee for striker Alexander Isak, the club has now moved to replace the Swedish National Team player.

They finally agreed to a deal with Brentford for the player from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Eddie Howe's side hopes the transfer will take place on the last day of the transfer market.

Despite interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, The Magpies will not pursue the Norwegian if they can reach an agreement for the Wissa before the transfer deadline.

The 28-year-old forward has not played for Brentford this season since demanding that the club allow him to move to Newcastle for pre-season.

After seeing his former Brentford teammate Bryan Mbeumo leave the Gtech Stadium to join Manchester United earlier this summer, Wissa told the club she was also hoping to be allowed to leave.

After a long dispute, Brentford has now given the player the green light to move to St. James' Park.

Meanwhile, Reiss Nelson will join Brentford on loan from Arsenal as a substitute for Wissa.

The 25-year-old forward spent last season on loan at Fulham.
