Last year, Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa didn’t have the best time at Newcastle. They both struggled to find their form and didn’t score many goals. But now, after a strong World Cup showing, things might be changing for the better.

World Cup Goals Spark New Hope

During the World Cup, both players found the back of the net – five goals between them. That’s a big deal because it shows they can still deliver when it matters most. Fans are starting to wonder: could this be the spark they needed?

  • Elanga scored twice in the group stage, showing his speed and finishing.
  • Wissa netted three times, including a crucial equalizer.
  • Both players looked more confident and sharp than they did in the Premier League.

What This Means for Next Season

With the World Cup behind them, Elanga and Wissa are heading into the new season with renewed energy. Newcastle’s coaches believe the tournament experience will help them settle in better. If they can carry that form into league games, the team could get a big boost in attack.

Why Fans Should Be Optimistic

It’s easy to forget that adapting to a new club takes time. The World Cup goals prove these players haven’t lost their talent. Next season might be the one where they finally show what they’re made of. Newcastle supporters have every reason to be excited.
