DR Congo forward Yoane Wissa is Newcastle's second big-money signing in the space of three days

Overview

  • Newcastle confirmed Wissa’s signing from Brentford for an undisclosed fee on a long-term contract, subject to Premier League approval.
  • The package is widely reported as £50m up front plus up to £5m in add-ons after late paperwork using the Premier League deal sheet, with Sky reporting completion with seconds to spare.
  • Wissa has been assigned Newcastle’s iconic No. 9 shirt on arrival at St James’ Park.
  • The move follows a protracted pursuit in which Brentford rejected earlier offers and Wissa publicly urged the club to let him leave.
  • The signing forms part of an attacking rebuild that also includes club‑record buy Nick Woltemade, with Wissa coming off a 19-goal Premier League season.
