Plenty of outlets are now reporting that Newcastle United are stepping up their interest in Wissa<\/a>, while some sources have indicated that Wissa is no longer seen as a priority by Spurs<\/a>.<\/p>\n In fact, earlier this week, Newcastle even reportedly had a \u00a325m bid for Wissa rejected by Brentford<\/a>, and now, we have heard what the DR Congo international is thinking about his future.<\/p>\n Ben Jacobs has now revealed that the centre-forward is keen on tasting Champions League<\/a> football next season and believes that opportunity may never come again if he does not make a switch to either Newcastle or Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n The former Lorient man does not plan on going on strike, but he has informed his employers that he wants a new challenge.<\/p>\n Jacobs said on the Market Madness podcast<\/a>: \u201cSo Wissa has made it clear to Brentford he wants to leave. Brentford want Wissa to sign a new deal. So there is a big gulf in each side\u2019s position.<\/p>\n \u201cBut instead of agitating for a move or going on strike like Gyokeres did, Wissa has to speak to the Brentford hierarchy. <\/p>\n \u201cAnd my understanding is that he will say very clearly that he would like to leave because he feels at his age, this is his last opportunity to go and play Champions League football. And both Spurs<\/a> and Newcastle have that and can offer it to him imminently.\u201d<\/p>\n Wissa prefers a Tottenham move over Newcastle<\/p>\n According to various updates over the past week, Wissa is expected to favour a move to Spurs ahead of Newcastle<\/a> if both clubs make offers.<\/p>\n However, that does not mean he will turn down a move to the Magpies, with Greame Bailey revealing on Wednesday that Wissa is also in favour of a switch to St James\u2019 Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Tottenham](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2169604492-1024x703.jpg\")
