Newcastle offered £40 million ($54m) for the DR Congo international.However, the Bees have firmly rejected the offer, much to the frustration of the forward. Now, Andrews, in his pre-match press conference, didn’t hold back, taking a direct aim at his striker’s actions, particularly after the work he put into helping Wissa find his goal-scoring form last season, contributing to his tally of 19 goals, seven of which came from set-pieces.

Ahead of facing , Andrews warned Wissa: “I have got a good relationship with Wiss. I worked really hard with him last year to try and find goals. Seven of his 19 goals last year came from set-pieces. He owes me really, so he shouldn’t be going anywhere, to be blunt!”

Sources from Brentford have denied any claims that the club is seeking £50m ($67m) for the forward, maintaining that no official asking price has been set. However, Newcastle remains in direct contact with Brentford, and their pursuit of the player continues. Wissa believes that, 12 months ago, Brentford agreed to let him leave in the current transfer window, and he expects the club to honour that commitment. However, the Bees have been reluctant to part with their star striker, especially following the sale of Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester for £71m ($95m).

Newcastle’s pursuit of Wissa has significant implications beyond the immediate deal. If the move doesn’t happen, it could have a direct impact on Liverpool’s pursuit of Isak. The Swedish striker, who has been training away from his Newcastle teammates, is reportedly on strike and refusing to play until a transfer is secured. However, Newcastle has made it clear that they won’t sanction Isak’s move to Liverpooluntil they’ve secured at least one replacement for him. The Magpies have already seen Callum Wilson leave as a free agent, which has further hindered their preparations for the new season.

With the clock ticking, the pressure is mounting on both Brentford and Wissa to reach a resolution. For the striker, the desire for a new challenge in the is clear, but for Brentford, the idea of losing another key player after Mbeumo’s departure remains a tough pill to swallow. Andrews will be hoping for a swift decision, but with the drama unfolding, the situation could drag on.
