Yoane Wissa, a 28-year-old striker for Brentford, has stirred up controversy by erasing any association with his current club on social media platforms like Instagram. This move comes as Wissa expresses his desire to transfer to Newcastle, who have shown interest in acquiring him.
After being left out of Brentford's matchday squad for their game against Nottingham Forest due to his transfer intentions, Wissa went a step further by deleting all content related to Brentford on his social media accounts. He also changed his Instagram profile picture to a black circle, symbolizing his protest against the club's stance.
Despite having only a year left on his contract, Brentford rejected a £30 million offer from Newcastle for Wissa. The club is adamant about securing a replacement before letting Wissa go and is holding out for a £60 million deal.
Newcastle, eager to bolster their squad with Wissa's talent, are expected to come back with a £35 million offer. Wissa is reportedly keen on joining Newcastle for the opportunity to compete in the Champions League.
With Brentford failing to sign Arnaud Kalimuendo, who opted for Nottingham Forest instead, the club is under pressure to find a suitable replacement for Wissa. Meanwhile, Newcastle's search for a new striker has been fraught with disappointments as they missed out on several targets this summer.
The ongoing saga has seen former Newcastle player Alan Shearer criticize another player, Alexander Isak, for his refusal to play in hopes of securing a move to Liverpool. Shearer condemned Isak's actions, highlighting the importance of players honoring their contracts and respecting their clubs and fans.
