Yoane Wissa is one of the most underrated forwards in European football, a relentless, intelligent striker who was central to Brentford's Premier League survival campaigns before earning a high-profile move to Newcastle United in 2025. His ability to press from the front, combine in tight spaces, and finish with both feet made him a Thomas Frank favourite and a consistent goal threat despite never playing in a dominant team. For Congo DR, he is the attack's focal point — the player opponents must plan around. At 29 and now at a Champions League-level club, he arrives at his peak.
