Yoane Wissa removes all association with Brentford from his Instagram account as his uncertain future takes a fresh twist.

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.

Yoane Wissa continues to be subject to rumours around a move to Newcastle and Brentford have now released training ground footage that may give a hint into his future.

Brentford manager Keith Andrews says striker Yoane Wissa will not be included in the squad for the team’s opening Premier League game against Nottingham Forest on Sunday amid uncertainty over his future at the London club.

Andrews said he would like Wissa to be part of the squad but added it is "very hard to know" what will happen in relation to his future.

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.

Brentford host Aston Villa in their first home game of the 2025/26 Premier League season. The visitors will have an important player back in their ranks.

Newcastle are under pressure to sign a new striker this summer. Callum Wilson was released following the expiration of his contract, but Eddie Howe’s side were forced to start the season without a recognised centre forward after Isak began his own protest over his desired move to Liverpool.
