By ZAC CAMPBELL, SPORTS SEO REPORTER Published: 22: 40 AEST, 22 August 2025 | Updated: 23: 02 AEST, 22 August 2025 2 View comments Brentford manager Keith Andrews has fired a warning the antics of wantaway forward Yoane Wissa ahead of his side's game against Aston Villa. Wissa, 28, has deleted all references to Brentford on his Instagram account, and unfollowed them, in a sign of his desire to leave. However, the Bees have turned down a second offer from Newcastle United of £40million for the DR Congo international. That has caused Andrews to question Wissa for his actions, with the Brentford boss taking aim at the forward in his pre-match press conference. He said: '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! ' Yoane Wissa has deleted all references to Brentford on his Instagram account, and unfollowed them, in a sign of his desire to leave the club Brentford manager Keith Andrews has blasted the antics of wantaway forward Yoane Wissa ahead of his side's game against Aston Villa According to The Athletic, sources at Brentford have spikily refuted claims they have told interested parties they value Wissa at £50m, insisting no target price has been stated. Newcastle remain in direct communication and hopeful of progress, with Wissa at Brentford's training ground awaiting updates. The 28-year-old did not play for the Bees in their opening-weekend 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest and has been training away from the first-team squad. Wissa believes that, 12 months ago, the club agreed he could move on this summer, and he expects them to honour that promise. Brentford have been reluctant to sell Wissa, who scored 20 goals in all competitions last season, particularly after losing Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United for £71m. But the acquisition of Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth for a club record fee of £42. 5m makes the idea of parting ways with the Congolese forward more palatable. Newcastle are in the market for at least one, and ideally two, strikers as they look to shore up their attack. Callum Wilson left upon the expiry of his contract and the Alexander Isak saga has made it a difficult summer for the club. The acquisition of Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth for a club record fee of £42. 5m makes the idea of parting ways with the Congolese forward more palatable If the Wissa deal does not happen, it would have a knock-on effect on Isak’s hopes of joining Liverpool, with the Swede currently on strike and training away from his team-mates. Newcastle will not sanction that move without signing two strikers, and so far they have failed to add any this summer. They have missed out on Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko, but their search continues. Newcastle have no intention of selling Isak, especially not after the statement he released on Tuesday night accusing them of 'broken promises'.
