Newcastle United lost to Celtic in their latest preseason Tests in a nightmare.
Brendan Rogers’ hoops ran out of Eddie Howe’s 4-0 winner on Saturday with a focus on low-energy toons.
It is now linked to a megamoney switch to Alhiral, and he has been completely ruled out of Scotland’s miserable spill.
After the match, Howe claimed that Isak is happy to stay with Toon in the near future, but forwarding forwarding from this ongoing situation suggests that the Premier League side has the striker’s target in mind for anything that could potentially be.
Newcastle agrees to personal terms at the £50 million center
Certainly, it’s no big secret that at St. James Park, new centre forwards will be a priority this summer.
After all, even if Isaac stays, Hau only has raw William Osla, whom he can rely on backup firepower. RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesco added an explosive option to the Toon Shop list to add a more explosive option to the top after Hugo Ekichike moved to Liverpool rather than Tyneside.
The deal that brings Slovenian attackers to Newcastle costs a whopping £78 million on Premier League outfits and has a potentially much cheaper deal/
According to a report on the continent, Newcastle agrees to long-term personal terms with Target Yoan Wissa, but is seeking club agreement with Brentford.
It is still unknown what Newcastle bids for the outstanding Brentford number 11, and previous reports suggest that he could be used for the £50 million mark.
Why does Wissa have a better signature than Sesco?
For this amount, Newcastle needs to push hard to actually get a contract on the line, as Dr. Congo International is a much better option than Sesco, as well as a cheap acquisition.
Of course, no one in Newcastle was armed if Sesco was to join the building, even at such a horrifying fee.
Back in the Bundesliga, the powerful striker has gained a reputation for being the finishing touch to ice-cold chances.
But Wissa can boast even more strikes than Sesco signed up for Leipzig despite his fatal reputation at the 22-year-old – with 45 Premier League goals next to his name from 137 clashes, 19 of which came last season in London.
In contrast, Sekso is quickly behind, with five less goals in Germany’s top flight action in the 24/25 campaign.
But while it’s not just the goal that separates the pair, Wissa has improved the Slovenian counterparts in many different areas of each game, knowing the inside and outside of the already intense Premier League environment.

Looking at the table above, it is clear that Newcastle will land an attacking diamond on Wissa for £50 million, in contrast to rushing gambling with expensive alternatives.
The 5-foot-9 threat is probably suitable to link to things like Anthony Gordon and Anthony Elanga in his fresh home.
Plus, “surprising” advancement – he averaged far more touches in offensive penalty areas last year, as he was labelled in the past by European football expert Zach Roy.
Sesko may be considered a shiny new that comes from a foreign coast, but if it is between the Leipzig number 30 and the age of 28, Newcastle must seal Wissa’s signature, especially if it is at the stage of personal terms of the minutes.
