Yoane Wissa
29-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wissa has improved each year with Brentford, but 2024/25 was the biggest step yet, as he tallied 18 goals and four assists. He didn't lead the team in either category, but he established himself as a top attacking option in the Premier League. Unfortunately, there's some concern for Wissa heading into 2025/26 with a bit of upheaval in the squad from manager to key starters. Repeating last season's output seems unlikely, but as a focal point in the attack with seemingly guaranteed minutes, maybe things won't change that much for him.
Back at full fitness
Wissa is back at full fitness after a recent injury, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Lee Ryder of The Chronicle. "So I think Yoane is getting back to his best fitness levels, he is doing a lot of work behind the scenes. There is no pecking order; it will depend on how the players perform."
ANALYSIS
Wissa is done with his undisclosed injury after returning three games ago, with the forward deemed to be nearing his top fitness levels. This comes amid a battle up front for time, as the fall signing has only started in five games despite his expectation to replace the major loss of Alexander Isak. Nick Woltemade continues to see the nod at forward over Wissa, but with the German's newfound role in the midfield, Wissa could earn more time if he takes advantage of his opportunities, with only one goal in 12 appearances this campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Newcastle to launch new bid?
Newcastle are expected to launch a new bid to sign Wissa, according to The Sun.
ANALYSIS
The Magpies are ready to do everything in their power to secure the services of the DR Congo international, who's also keen on completing a move to St. James' Park. However, Brentford aren't going to give the green light on the move until they can sign a replacement. They already acquire Dango Ouattara, however, so perhaps a move can happen in the coming days.
