One shot in return to XI Wissa generated one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Fulham.

Impact Wissa returned to Newcastle's starting lineup at Fulham on Saturday after two straight games on the bench, as he replaced Joe Willock and operated behind William Osula. The forward lasted only 61 minutes, though, and managed one shot and one chance created before he was taken off. The DR Congo international was a regular starter early in the season but has not scored since the second gameweek against Tottenham, and his place in the side now appears far from secure as coach Matthias Jaissle rotates his attack.

Threatens off bench Wissa registered two shots (two on goal) in Monday's 1-0 loss versus Everton.

Impact Wissa started on the bench for the second consecutive Premier League match, with Will Osula preferred at striker and Joe Willock occupying an attacking midfield role. The forward provided an immediate attacking threat after his introduction, coming close to equalizing with a late effort denied by Jordan Pickford. He has recorded one goal and one assist across nine Premier League appearances this season. His recent substitute role raises questions about his immediate starting prospects, although he remains a potential attacking alternative.

Seven shots off target in loss Wissa generated seven shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 55th minute.

Impact Wissa had seven attempts but was unable to find the target as Newcastle lost 1-0 to Aston Villa, the striker left his teammates particularly frustrated in the second half as he selfishly decided to shoot from distance instead of trying to find a teammate in a better position. This was the first time this season he has taken more than four shots in a game and the attacker has scored one so far this year.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Leads DR Congo to victory Wissa scored and provided an assist in DR Congo's 2-1 AFCON qualifying win over Zimbabwe on Monday, playing 84 minutes, according to the club.

Impact Wissa delivered another productive international performance, opening the scoring before setting up Samuel Moutoussamy for DR Congo's second goal. The forward has now scored in consecutive qualifiers after also finding the net in the 2-0 win over Equatorial Guinea. His strong international form follows a prominent start to the season with Newcastle United, where he has started all five Premier League matches and recorded one goal and one assist while operating across multiple attacking roles.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Holds prominent attacking role Wissa has started all five Premier League matches this season, operating either as a center-forward or in attacking midfield.

Impact Wissa has established himself as a regular starter across multiple attacking roles, recording one goal and one assist through five league appearances. He has attempted nine shots and created four chances, though he missed a penalty in his most recent outing. Despite that miss, his ability to operate both through the middle and behind the striker should keep him heavily involved in the attack.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Two chances created Wissa recorded one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Monday's 4-1 defeat to Leeds United.

Impact Wissa was the lone creative spark throughout Monday's loss. He was busy everytime he got on the ball and caused issues for the backline. It wasn't enough to really break the match open, but it's another decent showing for the attacker. He will hope to be back in a big way with some beatable opponents coming up.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in draw Wissa recorded one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 57th minute.

Impact Wissa made a fine run down the right shortly after halftime, delivering the cross that Joe Willock glanced narrowly wide with a header in Newcastle's clearest opportunity to level the score at 2-1 during a second-half period where Newcastle dominated. He registered zero shots across the full 90 minutes but his movement and intelligent running stretched Bournemouth's back line on multiple occasions. Wissa has now started all of Newcastle's three Premier League fixtures this season, contributing one goal and one assist.

Scores in win over Spurs Wissa scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Wissa opened this 2026/27 scoring tally with an acrobatic finish from close range following a corner kick. The DR Congo forward has started both Newcastle matches this season and has posted strong numbers, notching a goal, an assist, six shots (two on target) and two chances created. Look for him to remain in the XI when the Magpies take on Bournemouth on Saturday, Sep. 5.

Assist in opener Wissa assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 25th minute.

Impact Wissa was excellent to open the season, adding an assist to open the campaign, setting up Joe Willock for a second-half goal. Wissa wasn't at his best during his first season with Newcastle, but he looked back up to it during this opening match. The hope will be that he can carry this form consistently throughout the season.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Scores brace in friendly Wissa scored a brace in Saturday's 2-1 friendly win over Valencia, confirming he is in good shape ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League season.

Impact Wissa dealt with a knee injury at the start of last season that delayed his Newcastle debut until December, finishing his debut campaign with just one goal across 19 Premier League appearances following his move from Brentford. He however had a strong World Cup, scoring three goals in four appearances for DR Congo and this early preseason brace is an encouraging sign, and he could hold a bigger role under new coach Matthias Jaissle as Newcastle looks to build a fuller campaign around him this season.
