DR Congo national Yoane Wissa takes the No. 9 jersey at Newcastle United right after the Magpies parted ways with Swedish forward Alexander Isak.

Wissa had been on the radar for Newcastle United since Liverpool sparked their initial interest in Isak while looking at other options like Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson who is bound to a Bayern Munich loan spell.

The former Brentford sensation has joined Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee and is confident he is equally fit for the hurdle ahead.
