Brentford will keep Newcastle target Yoane Wissa out of season opener
Brentford manager Keith Andrews has confirmed that striker Yoane Wissa will not feature in the team's season opener against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Wissa, who scored 19 goals in the Premier League last season, has been the subject of strong interest from Newcastle United, but Brentford are holding out for a fee of around £40 million. Newcastle's offer of up to £30 million for the 28-year-old forward from the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been rejected by Brentford. Andrews stated that Wissa is "not ready to play" and is currently training on his own as the club prepares for the upcoming match. The article suggests that Brentford are determined to keep hold of Wissa, who has proven to be a valuable asset to the team, and are unwilling to let him go unless their valuation is met.
