Newcastle United still want to sign striker Yoane Wissa, but will look at other options if Brentford’s demands are too high.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have a price in mind that they are willing to pay for the forward, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season. They have already had a \u00a325m bid rejected.<\/p>\n

One source has told Sky Sports News Wissa does not intend to return to Brentford training and he feels disappointed with the club’s approach in talks.<\/p>\n

Wissa wants to join Newcastle and wants to play Champions League football as he feels he may not get another opportunity.<\/p>\n

Newcastle were lining up Wissa to be second-choice to RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko if Alexander Isak was to leave the club.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old left Brentford’s pre-season training camp in Portugal earlier this week and headed back to the UK for talks with the club’s hierarchy over his future.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports News reported that Brentford do not want to sell him after they sold Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United for \u00a371m.<\/p>\n

The pair scored 39 Premier League goals between them last season, so the club are acutely aware of the risk in letting both leave, especially without replacements.<\/p>\n

After losing Mbeumo, captain Christian Norgaard and head coach Thomas Frank already this summer, Brentford are not about to dismantle their entire team.<\/p>\n

Brentford are yet to replace Mbeumo but remain interested in Omari Hutchinson at Ipswich, after a potential deal fell through over payment structure earlier in the window.<\/p>\n

Brentford head coach Keith Andrews confirms that Yoane Wissa decided to leave the club’s training camp in Portugal amidst the speculation over his future at the club.<\/p>\n

Brentford boss Keith Andrews said on Friday night that Wissa will return to training with the squad next week.<\/p>\n

“He has gone back to London. It was his decision, obviously because of speculation,” Andrews told Brentford’s club media after his first game in charge ended in a 1-1 draw against Gil Vicente.<\/p>\n

“There are clubs interested and he felt it was the right thing to go back to London.<\/p>\n

“It’s simple really, he folds back into the group next week when we come back to training.”<\/p>\n
