Yoane Wissa finds himself facing a total blockade from his club Brentford, who have turned down a new record offer from Newcastle United worth £40 million. The Magpies' latest bid included £35 million up front, plus an additional £5 million in bonuses.

Wissa has refused to train with Brentford to help force through his move to St James’ Park. Earlier this week, he deleted all traces of Brentford’s presence from his social media, as he looks to make it clear that he has no interest in playing for the club again.
