Brentford are breaking their transfer record to bring in Dango Ouattara after talks with Bournemouth finalised a deal worth £42.5million, sources have confirmed to TBR Football. We understand that Ouattara has already agreed personal terms, and he is having his medical in West London on Friday.

Brentford and Bournemouth have reached an agreement for the transfer of Dango Ouattara. The Burkinabé winger will join the Bees for €40 million plus bonuses. The arrival of the Burkinabé winger is expected to pave the way for Yoane Wissa's move to Newcastle.

Both Newcastle and the Saudi side are owned by the Saudi investment fund, making the bidding war especially complicated

Isak is currently frozen out at Newcastle having asked to leave the club. Liverpool saw a huge offer rejected and have walked away from a deal, with Newcastle boss Eddie Howe keeping Isak away from his first team squad until the situation is resolved.

Newcastle to accelerate Yoane Wissa transfer plan as Brentford agree £42.5m deal for replacement - Yoane Wissa will not play for Brentford in their Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest

Football Insider revealed on Friday that after Brentford agreed a £37million deal to sign Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth, the path could now be clear for Wissa to complete his own move to St. James’ Park.

Confidence is growing on Tyneside that Wissa’s camp will agree swiftly to personal terms. As highlighted, “Wissa’s camp ready to finalise personal terms.” Such language suggests both parties are aligned, and the forward’s arrival could be sealed quickly once Brentford make progress with their incoming deal.

Newcastle United are still keen on Brentford star Yoane Wissa with Eddie Howe seeing the DR Congo star as an ideal replacement for departing Callum Wilson. Wilson has signed for West Ham leaving Howe lacking experienced cover for either Alexander Isak or any new big-name replacement.

A former Brentford boss has told Yoane Wissa to "f*ck off" amid his reported impending move to Newcastle United.
