LONDON: Newcastle United have agreed a fee of 55 million pounds ($74.30 million) to sign Brentford striker Yoane Wissa, according to English media reports. The 28-year-old DR Congo international has been the number one target for Newcastle since it became clear their striker Alexander Isak wanted to join Liverpool. Isak was poised to complete a British record 125 million-pound move to the Premier League champions on Monday. Wissa scored 45 goals in 137 Premier League appearances for Brentford since arriving from French club Lorient but has not featured this season as he held out for a move.

Striker Yoane Wissa calls on Brentford to "keep their word" and let him leave, accusing them of "unduly standing in his way" of a move to Newcastle.

Newcastle agree a deal worth £55m for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa, a day after he urge the Bees to "keep their word" and let him leave.
