Wissa back in Brentford training but wants Newcastle move

Following fruitful discussions with head coach Keith Andrews, Brentford forward Yoane Wissa has resumed first-team training. He is still looking to leave the club.

Following a fortnight of strained player-club relations, Wissa and Andrews addressed the team’s training facility on Wednesday morning.

Wissa has resumed senior training for the first time since he made the decision to leave Brentford’s pre-season base in Portugal on July 21 following the discussions.

The 28-year-old wants to move to Newcastle in the near future, which would give him the chance to play Champions League football, but he still wants to.

According to sources, Brentford may sell Wissa if the forward is valued at significantly more than the £25 million plus £5 million offer they received from Newcastle.

Finding and signing a replacement for Wissa is also said to be a factor in any potential moves prior to the September 1 transfer deadline.

Wissa participated in Brentford’s Premier League media day on Tuesday, where the squad was filmed and photographed for external broadcasters ahead of the new season.

It’s still to be seen if Wissa will play for the team to face Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday after missing Queens Park Rangers’ 1-0 friendly win on Saturday.
