Newcastle United's pursuit of Brentford star Yoane Wissa has been dealt a blow, according to a recent report. The Magpies have been rumoured to be keen on securing Wissa's services this summer as they aim to bolster their attacking line-up, especially in light of Callum Wilson's exit and the uncertainty surrounding Alexander Isak's future.

Yoane Wissa has stepped up his efforts to leave Brentford by deleting all club-related content from his Instagram account as negotiations with Newcastle United drag on and his transfer to Tyneside stalls.
