Wayne Rooney says Yoane Wissa and Alexander Isak are "like kids" in terms of their behaviour during the transfer window. Both Wissa and Isak want to depart their respective clubs and have taken the uncommon approach of striking until a deal has been done.
Yoane Wissa has stepped up his efforts to leave Brentford by deleting all club-related content from his Instagram account as negotiations with Newcastle United drag on and his transfer to Tyneside stalls.
Described as “ one of the best 9s in the world ” by Statman Dave, Watkins has proven time and time again his expertise as a Premier League frontman, and that could remain so with a one-way trip to Tyneside at this later stage of his career, leading the line as Isak's replacement, should that come to pass.
Brentford forward Yoane Wissa wants to join Newcastle, who need reinforcement up front, given the current stand-off between the club and star striker Alexander Isak. The Magpies have made their move with an improved £40m bid.
