Newcastle United could be set to bother Brentford again as Magpies reportedly eye Brazilian striker
Newcastle United aren't likely to be the flavour of the week with Brentford fans after Yoane Wissa downed tools over the summer to force through a move to Tyneside.
Wissa did what we were all lambasting Alexander Isak for doing, and while we've done some Grade A mental gymnastics to separate the two, we're sure Brentford fans don't see any big differences.
So they won't be too happy about reports suggesting that Newcastle are once again eyeing one of their in-form strikers with the January transfer window on the horizon.
Yoane Wissa is yet to kick a ball for Newcastle after his £55 million summer switch, after picking up a knee injury on international duty just days after signing for the Magpies.
Newcastle want Brentford's 6'2" Brazilian striker
Nick Woltemade has surprised everyone by hitting the ground running at Newcastle, minimising the damage of not having Wissa available.
However, with Will Osula's future uncertain, Newcastle are still looking at attacking options with the winter window on the horizon, and many reports have linked Newcastle with an interest in Brentford's Igor Thaigo.
The Chronicle have claimed that Newcastle have held an interest in Thiago for years, before his move to Brentford last summer, and now, seeing how well he's performing this season, is ready to make its move.
Igor Thiago has made a tremendous start to the season
Igor Thiago only joined Brentford in the summer of 2024, but a meniscus injury kept him out of action for most of last season.
The 24-year-old has made a flying start to this campaign, however, scoring four goals in seven games for Brentford this season.
Whether there's any truth to this one remains to be seen, but we imagine Brentford won't be easy to deal with after the summer's antics.
