New Yoane Wissa twist - Sky Sports reveal three-deal domino effect involving Newcastle

Newcastle United may be pushing to keep Alexander Isak on Tyneside for one more season, but that doesn't change our need for at least one striker.

A £50m bid for Wolves' Jorgen Strand Larsen was submitted and swiftly rejected on Monday, however, there is confidence a deal could be done after positive discussions.

But, it seems all is not lost just yet regarding Yoane Wissa's potential arrival on Tyneside, with our drawn-out pursuit of the DR Congo star taking another twist today.

Sky Sports' Dharmesh Sheth reveals that Brentford are now working on a deal for a potential replacement, with Borussia Dortmund set to play a key role in salvaging his proposed move to St James' Park.

A three-deal domino effect could be at play. Wolves forward Fabio Silva is close to joining Borussia Dortmund, while Brentford are interested in signing Dortmund striker Maximilian Beier.

Should both deals go through, it would open the door for Wissa's exit, with Sky Sports revealing that the 28-year--old is hoping a move to Newcastle United can still go ahead.

Brentford's lofty demands of £50-60m would then come down, you would expect, but a lot has to happen in the coming days to make this possible.

The Bees must replace him, lower their demands and strike a deal with Newcastle, who had a £40m bid rejected last week. All the dominoes could fall, we just don't have long to find a resolution, which explains why Strand Larsen has been pursued as an alternative.
