Brentford striker Yoane Wissa is determined to join United this summer, as speculation surrounding Alexander Isak's move to Liverpool rumbles on.

Newcastle have missed out on an array of targets to their Premier League rivals. Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo were in the Magpies' sights, but both opted for a switch to Old Trafford, despite the lack of European football on offer this season.

Newcastle United are pointing the finger at Eddie Howe amid ongoing frustrations in the summer transfer window.

There is an irony at St James’ Park that the issue holding up their move for Wissa is a similar dilemma that Newcastle have with Isak, who was withdrawn from the pre-season tour of Singapore and South Korea after indicating a willingness to explore a move away from the club.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs striking major deals as the summer transfer window nears its final month.Liverpool have signed Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt in a £79m deal having beaten off interest from Newcastle to secure his signature.

Anthony Elanga, who scored at the Singapore National Stadium on his full debut, is Newcastle's only summer signing so far.

Newcastle United are reportedly plotting a move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, with Alexander Isak rumored to exit.
