Neom, the newly promoted club to the Roshan Saudi League, has entered the race to sign Congolese striker Yoane Wissa, a player of Brentford FC, in a move that reflects the club's great ambitions in its first season among the elite.

Neom faces strong competition from prominent clubs, most notably Newcastle United and Tottenham from the English Premier League, as well as Saudi club Al-Nassr, which has shown readiness to meet Brentford's financial demands.

According to the French newspaper "L'Équipe," Wissa is receiving widespread interest this summer, despite his English club asking for a high amount to part with him, which Neom's management is trying to handle flexibly to successfully complete the deal.

Wissa is 28 years old and has a contract with Brentford that runs until 2026, which complicates negotiations. However, Neom's ambitions and strong budget may enhance their chances of securing his signature.

Neom aims to strengthen its squad with influential names that will provide full readiness to stay and compete strongly in the professional league, and Wissa is considered an ideal option to enhance the attack line with his experience in the Premier League.
