But BBC reporting that Wissa has withdrawn from Brentford’s pre-season tour. I very much doubt he is coming to us - this feels like the end-game of Brentford’s negotiations with Newcastle.
So when he was untested in the premier league, having played half a season in the Championship after a loan at Lincoln. Or when he’d played half a season in the prem? I can’t recall.
As opposed to Wissa who has three years under his belt (45 goals in 137 apps).
Wissa is 29 with one year left on his contract, and is coming off a career best season that he might never repeat. Brennan was the hottest young player outside the Premier League, key to our promotion prospects, and had some time left on his contract.
I'm sure I read the club has the option to trigger another 12 months to summer 2027. His value is definitely waning, given his age, but he's not in gone-on-a-free territory just yet.
