Newcastle open to offers for Premier League star just months after £55m transfer

Newcastle United will reportedly be open to offers for Yoane Wissa in the upcoming transfer window.

This is a surprising stance from the Magpies, as the 29-year-old only arrived at St James’ Park last summer in a deal worth £55 million.

According to The i Paper, Newcastle are in the market for a specialist striker and would consider offers for Wissa.

However, they would have to take a significant loss on the forward, whose valuation has dropped steeply.

One Premier League club interested in Wissa rate him around £15m to £20m.

The DR Congo international has endured a difficult campaign as injuries issues have limited him to only four Premier League starts.

He has scored only once and is currently Eddie Howe’s fourth-choice striker.

Newcastle lost Alexander Isak to Liverpool, despite trying their best to keep him at the club.

Callum Wilson also left at the end of his contract, joining West Ham United on a free transfer.

Newcastle struggled to find a suitable replacement for Isak, as Benjamin Sesko and rejected moves to the Tyneside club.
