Brentford Forward Returns To Training as Transfer Talks with Newcastle Continue
Brentford Reintegrate Wissa Amid Transfer Tensions Yoane Wissa returned to Brentford training this week, a development confirmed by the club via a post on X. For Brentford fans, the sight of Wissa back in the fold offers reassurance, though it comes laced with intrigue and uncertainty. Wissa's Return After Missed Friendly Brentford's squad was granted Monday off following their 1-0 pre-season friendly win against QPR at Loftus Road. Notably absent from the matchday squad was Wissa, who, according to head coach Keith Andrews, 'was not quite ready' for selection. His absence came after he missed parts of Brentford's pre-season training camp in Portugal due to ongoing discussions about his future. Despite that disruption, Andrews clarified that Wissa had resumed training late last week ahead of the QPR fixture and is expected to continue integrating fully this week. The forward's reintegration comes at a crucial time as the club navigates the final weeks of the transfer window with more questions than answers. Newcastle Interest Fuels Unrest Wissa is reportedly keen on a move to Newcastle, a desire that has introduced tension into his relationship with Brentford. The West London club, however, remain resistant. Having already sanctioned the £71 million sale of Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United earlier this summer, Brentford are reluctant to lose another key attacking figure without securing a replacement. It is widely reported that Brentford have no immediate intention of selling Wissa, prioritising squad stability over short-term gain. This impasse may not hold indefinitely; the club could revisit their stance later in the window should a suitable replacement be acquired. Transfer Plans Hinge on Reinforcements Brentford's refusal to part with Wissa now is rooted in pragmatic squad planning. The club have yet to replace Mbeumo, whose departure left a sizeable hole in the attacking third. Omari Hutchinson has emerged as Brentford's primary target to fill that void, but no deal has been completed. Beyond Hutchinson, Brentford are also active in the market for another forward, underscoring the urgency to bolster their attacking options before entertaining any bids for Wissa. Their cautious approach highlights a broader trend among Premier League clubs: the need to manage player ambition with squad depth, particularly when European qualification ambitions hang in the balance. Wissa's return to training may quell immediate concerns, but the story is far from over. For now, Brentford have their forward back on the pitch, but whether he remains there beyond August remains uncertain.

Former Wimbledon defender Osew signs for Bangor
Bangor have completed the signing of former AFC Wimbledon defender Paul Osew ahead of their Irish Premiership opener against Cliftonville on Sunday. The 24-year-old enjoyed a successful trial with the Seasiders in pre-season, making two appearances and scoring the opener in a victory against St James' Swifts. Although regarded as a full-back, Osew has featured in midfield and in attack throughout his career which has included 77 appearances for AFC Wimbledon. The Wandsworth native moved from the Brentford academy before making the switch to Plough Lane where he spent most of his career. He has also enjoyed spells with Northampton Town, Woking and Welling United before arriving at Bangor this summer where he sufficiently impressed manager Lee Feeney to earn a full-time deal with the newly-promoted club. Osew becomes the seventh summer arrival at Clandeboye Park following the signings of Gareth Deane, Stephen McGuinness, Mark Haughey, Liam Burns, Ross Ferguson and Harry Lynch.
