Newcastle United are locked in talks to sign Yoane Wissa after the DR Congo international made it clear he was keen on a move away from Brentford.

According to talkSPORT, Wilson has agreed personal terms with West Ham United after productive talks in recent days. The 33-year-old striker was also pursued by clubs in Saudi Arabia and the United States and while Championship sides like Leeds United and Burnley showed some interest too.

Newcastle United has struggled to land its top targets this summer and could now lose Alexander Isak to a Premier League rival.

However, it was Arsenal's 15-year-old academy products, midfielder Max Downman and centre-back Marli Salmon, who also impressed with their cameos and were the main subject of Arteta's post-match press conference, with the mood surrounding the club fairly postive.

An intriguing swap deal has been suggested between Brentford and Newcastle United, in order to help get the Yoane Wissa move to St James’ Park over the line. On Tuesday, it was reported that Newcastle had seen a £25m offer turned down for the Brentford striker.

The Gunners are on to their second game of their Far Eastern venture, having beaten Milan 1–0 at the Singapore National Stadium in the week. Newcastle, meanwhile, were thumped 4–0 at Celtic Park last weekend after starting their summer with a 4–0 victory over the lowly Carlisle United.

Newcastle have reportedly identified two Premier League strikers as alternatives to Yoane Wissa after Brentford ‘closed the door’ on his exit.
