US EditionWhy Yoane Wissa isn't playing for Brentford today amid Newcastle United transfer link
Brentford left Yoane Wissa out of the squad as he nears a £40 million transfer to Newcastle United during the ongoing summer transfer window, the club confirmed.
- Brentford confirmed that Yoane Wissa, their 28-year-old forward, will not play in today's Premier League match against Nottingham Forest amid transfer speculation.
- Wissa's exclusion stems from a disrupted pre-season and his desire to move this summer, with Newcastle United interested but Brentford demanding a £60 million fee.
- Brentford recently signed Dango Ouattara as a versatile replacement for Bryan Mbeumo, but manager Keith Andrews denied this signing makes Wissa's departure more likely.
- Andrews characterized the situation with Wissa as evolving daily, noting that to his knowledge, no new developments occurred yesterday or today, and they plan to address it throughout the week.
- The uncertainty around Wissa suggests Brentford aim to keep him while Newcastle continues to seek attacking reinforcements before the September 1 transfer deadline.
