Newcastle’s £55m Gamble on Yoane Wissa Set for Quickfire Summer Sale

 Newcastle United is reportedly planning to sell forward Yoane Wissa in the upcoming summer transfer window, just months after signing him for a club-record £55 million. Wissa joined from Brentford in September 2025 but has struggled due to a severe knee injury that kept him out for the first half of the season. He has only started four Premier League matches since returning and currently ranks as the fourth-choice striker under manager Eddie Howe. 



Wissa scored only one goal during his time at the club, in a Champions League game against PSV Eindhoven, and has not played in recent matches, including a loss to AFC Bournemouth. Newcastle might accept a fee of around £15 million, which would represent a significant loss of approximately £35 million. Some reports suggest they could be willing to take a £40 million hit on his value. 


Despite the club's intent to sell, Wissa has expressed a desire to stay and fight for his position. Howe has commented that Wissa has more potential to show, insisting that pre-season could allow him to thrive.
