Newcastle United ready to consider bids for Yoane Wissa amid interest from Aston Villa Tottenham and Nottingham Forest
The attacker joined St James Park from Brentford during the previous summer transfer window for a fee of 55 million pounds yet his time in the north east has not progressed as hoped.
Wissa has scored only three times across every competition with fitness problems affecting his initial period at the team followed by a lengthy poor run of performances that reduced his chances of featuring from the outset.
Newcastle United are now willing to entertain proposals for the 28 year old forward and it seems they recognise a major monetary shortfall is inevitable. Recouping the full initial sum appears unlikely with the player possibly on the market for approximately 50 percent of what was originally invested.
The 29 year old is believed to welcome the idea of a new challenge where consistent involvement in the first eleven would be prioritised. Relocating beyond the Premier League remains a strong possibility.
Aston Villa Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest had expressed curiosity in Wissa before his switch from Brentford and sources indicate these sides are part of a group informed about his potential departure ahead of the upcoming transfer period.
Nevertheless joining a team in Saudi Arabia could prove a viable path if remaining in the top flight does not come to fruition.
Wissa arrived at the club together with Nick Woltemade in the aftermath of Alexander Isak transfer to Liverpool. That said a subpar season has led to a strategic reassessment among the Newcastle hierarchy.
The midfielder Sandro Tonali is drawing substantial attention and stands as a probable high profile exit over the summer while head coach Eddie Howe confronts an unclear position as the organisation contemplates sweeping alterations.
Newcastle United scouting staff have started exploring methods to rejuvenate the roster. Additionally the team is attentive to adhering to fiscal guidelines which provides extra motivation to offload personnel.
