The British Chronicle reported that Newcastle's second important transfer operation this summer is making breakthrough progress, and the club's confidence in signing Brentford striker Visa continues to increase.

Visa left the team's training base in Portugal early on Tuesday morning and flew back to the UK to negotiate with Brentford football director Phil Giles, who was rumored to be able to replace Dan Asheworth as Newcastle sports director. According to multiple sources, Visa has decided to leave the Bees under the pursuit of many teams. Except for Newcastle, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest have expressed interest in Visa this summer.

Forest's previous £25 million offer was rejected, and Newcastle's recent offer of similar amounts was also not approved, but it is expected to submit a new improved offer. Brentford priced £50 million for 28-year-old Visa. Considering that the contract only has one year + one year renewal terms, it may be the best time to cash out.

Newcastle needs to speed up its action, as former Brentford coach Thomas Frank is pushing Tottenham to introduce Visa, and the close relationship the two have established in the Bees may become a key factor in the transfer, which will weaken the Magpie's competitiveness. After a so-called frustrating transfer window, Newcastle is eager to make a breakthrough in signings.

The friendly match against the Celtics last Saturday increased public opinion pressure, and although the club tried its best to keep it, rumors about Isaac's departure continued. If Visa can join, it will directly compete with Isaac and will also be competent on the wing. The Congolese striker scored 19 goals in the Premier League last season, and his forward partnership with Mbemo is effective.

Newcastle, which is currently in preseason in Asia, urgently needs a victory in the transfer market to boost morale. Eddie Howe hopes to complete the reinforcement before returning to the UK to complete pre-season preparations.
