Despite persistent rumors linking him with a move to Newcastle, Yoane Wissa remains, for now, a Brentford player. Will his coach give him playing time in this second round of the Premier League?

Yoane Wissa has become one of the hottest transfer topics in the Premier League. The Congolese forward, still under contract with Brentford, is eager to join Newcastle, who have already submitted a fresh offer to secure his signature. He hasn’t played a single minute this season yet, but his involvement against Aston Villa this Saturday remains a possibility according to Bees’ manager Keith Andrews:

He trained with the group. As for his involvement this weekend, I’ll make my decision tomorrow.

Wissa, who showed his frustration last month by training away from the main squad, didn’t feature in the season opener against Nottingham Forest. His future remains up in the air: will Brentford manage to hold on to him, or will Newcastle succeed in sealing the deal before the transfer window closes?
