Yoane's career began with French side Châteauroux, where he progressed through the youth system before making a switch to Angers in 2016. Loan spells at Laval and Ajaccio followed, but it was upon joining then Ligue 2 side Lorient in January 2018 that he began to make his mark.

Yoane helped Lorient reach the French top-flight, where he went on to score ten times, before earning his move to newly-promoted Brentford in 2021.

The striker quickly established himself in the Premier League and departed the Bees with 49 goals from 149 games to his name in all competitions, including a personal high of 19 league goals in 2024/25.

Wissa endured an injury-hit debut campaign at St. James' Park but helped DR Congo reach the 2026 World Cup.
