Newcastle United are in pole position to complete the signing of an "excellent" player alongside Yoane Wissa this summer, following a new development. With Alexander Isak's St James' Park future still up in the air currently, the Magpies are searching hard for new strikers, especially following the exit of Callum Wilson.

Insider Ben Jacobs has revealed the feelings of Brentford forward Yoane Wissa towards his club, as his attempts to force a transfer to Newcastle have gone to another level.

Real Madrid could rival Liverpool for Newcastle United's Alexander Isak . . . according to Richard Keys on beIN Sport. He has claimed the Spanish giants could be set to make their move, with Liverpool yet to return with an improved offer for the Swede.

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.
