Yoane Wissa valuation plummets as Newcastle United consider drastic transfer plan

Yoane Wissa has scored just one Premier League goal from 13 games in Newcastle United colours.

Yoane Wissa has plummeted in valuation by £11million just eight months after his Newcastle United arrival.

To make matters worse, football analytical website transfermarkt.com calculated that the Magpies gave Brentford £18million more than his price tag at the time. Toon chiefs were wedged between a rock and a hard place last summer.

With star striker Alexander Isak angling for a St James’ Park exit, Newcastle frantically searched for a new No.9. High-profile targets like Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko snubbed moves to the Magpies.

Ultimately, Wissa – who netted 19 goals for Brentford last season – arrived on deadline day. Newcastle had a £25million bid rejected midway through the window – paying more than double that figure in an hour of desperation to get the deal over the line.
