Newcastle to put £55m flop Yoane Wissa on transfer list after just one season
Wissa's Struggles at Newcastle
Newcastle United are reportedly ready to explore the sale of Yoane Wissa this summer, marking a stunning U-turn on a player who cost the club £55 million just last year. The DR Congo international has struggled to make an impact on Tyneside following a series of fitness setbacks and tactical shifts under Eddie Howe.
A Disappointing Debut Season
Wissa arrived at St James’ Park with high expectations, inheriting the iconic No.9 shirt previously worn by legends like Alan Shearer. However, the move has quickly turned into a nightmare for both the player and the club. Signed from Brentford on deadline day in September as a reaction to Alexander Isak's departure to Liverpool, Wissa has failed to replicate the form that made him a standout player in west London last season.

What's Next for Wissa?
The club's decision to put Wissa on the transfer list signals a significant change in their strategy, and it remains to be seen how Newcastle United will approach the upcoming transfer window.
