Newcastle United's recent acquisition, Yoane Wissa, has confidently stated that his best is yet to come, following an inspiring performance in the Champions League. The 29-year-old forward shone against PSV, scoring his inaugural goal in the tournament before masterfully setting up the second for the Magpies, indicating his potential to become a key player at St James' Park.
Despite a challenging start to his career in Newcastle due to a knee injury sustained on international duty with DR Congo, Wissa's trajectory is looking up. His recovery and integration into the team have been steady, and his recent display suggests he's on the verge of hitting peak form. "I'm not 100% yet, but I'm close. I'm working hard to help the team," Wissa shared in a heartfelt reflection on his progress.
Under the lights at St James' Park, Newcastle have been formidable, especially in their European campaign. Securing three consecutive Champions League clean sheets at home after previously managing only two in their first 13 matches shows remarkable improvement. Domestically, their record is just as impressive, with only one loss in their last 15 home games, which includes 11 wins and three draws.
With his sights set high, Wissa is bullish about Newcastle's prospects, both in England and Europe. "I think we can now achieve something great, especially in the Premier League, if we keep going like this," he enthused. His belief is shared by his teammates, buoyed by an "unbelievable squad" and a united front, fostering a strong sense of togetherness and character that could well steer them towards significant achievements this season.
Newcastle’s blend of fresh talent like Wissa and the strong strategic framework laid by the coaching staff hints at a promising season ahead. With the Premier League title distinctly in their crosshairs and an ambitious run in the Champions League, the Magpies are soaring high with optimism.
And to cap it off, here's a little jest for our friends down the road: How many Sunderland fans does it take to change a light bulb? Trick question - they're still trying to find a spark to light up their season!
