Congolese striker Yuan Wissa, a target for Newcastle United, announced his desire to leave Brentford via a strong statement posted on his official Instagram account, just hours before the summer transfer market closes tomorrow, Monday.

Wissa stated that he had remained silent throughout the summer, but felt compelled to break his silence after the club went back on its promises, explaining that he had informed the management and head coach of his desire to seek a new experience, and that he had received written assurances that he would not be held back if a suitable offer came in.

The player added that he had indeed received an official offer from another club in the Premier League, and informed Brentford's management of his desire to transfer, but was surprised by a sudden change in the club's stance in the final days of the transfer window, which left him in a frustrating and difficult situation.

Wissa confirmed his full commitment to training and matches, denying any unprofessional conduct, but emphasized the necessity for the club to honor its commitments, warning that being forced to stay would negatively affect his four-year career with Brentford.

The player concluded his statement by expressing hope for a fair resolution before the end of the transfer market, urging the club's management and owners to keep their promise and allow him to leave for a suitable price.
