Newcastle open to offers for Premier League star just months after £55m transfer Newcastle United will reportedly be open to offers for Yoane Wissa in the upcoming transfer window . This is a surprising stance from the Magpies, as the 29-year-old only arrived at St James’ Park last summer in a deal worth £55 million. According to The i Paper , Newcastle are in the market for a specialist striker and would consider offers for Wissa.
However, they would have to take a significant loss on the forward, whose valuation has dropped steeply. One Premier League club interested in Wissa rate him around £15m to £20m. The DR Congo international has endured a difficult campaign as injuries issues have limited him to only four Premier League starts.
He has scored only once and is currently Eddie Howe’s fourth-choice striker. Newcastle lost Alexander Isak to Liverpool , despite trying their best to keep him at the club. Callum Wilson also left at the end of his contract, joining West Ham United on a free transfer.
Newcastle struggled to find a suitable replacement for Isak, as Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike rejected moves to the Tyneside club. They ultimately brought in Nick Woltemade in a record £69m deal. Wissa also arrived in a £55m move on Deadline Day, but both signings haven’t worked out.
