Newcastle's dominoes start to fall! Yoane Wissa's move to St James' Park is ON as Brentford agree £37m deal for replacement

The Cherries forward has given the green light for a switch to the Gtech Community Stadium, with final formalities expected within days. Ouattara’s arrival effectively ends Brentford’s resistance to selling the DR Congo striker.
