Congo’s “Premier League Killer” — Wissa targets English defenders



There is a player on the Congo team that English defenders absolutely do not want to encounter on the pitch — Yoane Wissa.

Wissa plays for Newcastle in the Premier League. He scored 3 goals in the group stage, making him the absolute core of Congo’s attacking unit. In the life-or-death match against Uzbekistan, he equalized with a penalty and then scored again—one man carried Congo into the knockout stage.

Wissa’s strengths are his speed, his explosive impact, and his skill at counterattacking. He is currently operating on the left side, lining up against England’s makeshift right-back. Reece James is injured, Quansah is injured, and Spence is filling in. A makeshift, patched-together right-side defensive line is up against a speed-forward familiar with Premier League tempo—Wissa is absolutely a nightmare for England’s defenders.

In expert predictions, the odds of Wissa scoring at any time are 11/2. In the 2024-25 season, he scored 19 Premier League goals for Brentford. Of Congo’s 4 group-stage goals, 3 came from Wissa.

If England’s back line can’t limit Wissa, Congo’s counterattacks could be deadly at any moment.
