LONDON (AP) — Brentford striker Yoane Wissa says he wants to leave the Premier League club and that it’s “unduly standing in my way.”
A day before the end of soccer’s summer transfer period, Wissa posted a lengthy statement on social media on Sunday criticizing Brentford for rejecting an apparent offer from another Premier League club despite his willingness to switch between the teams.
Wissa, a reported target for Newcastle, is yet to play for Brentford this season and had already removed any association with the club from his Instagram account.
On Sunday, the 28-year-old Congo international took it a step further on the social media network.
“Earlier this summer, I held open discussions with the club’s senior management, including key directors and the new head coach,” Wissa wrote.
