After Moussa Sissoko’s fantastic EURO 2016 showing with France, relegated Newcastle United has told clubs now chasing the French star that they should be ready to pay £35million.
Th 26 year old, who joined Newcastle from Toulouse for an undisclosed fee in January2013, has said that he wants to walk away from Tyneside. Sissoko told Foot Mercato in June that he wanted to play in the Champions league and he described Arsenal as a “beautiful” club.
He said: “I gave everything there for three-and-a-half years. I hope that they will be smart enough to understand that, to continue my development, I need to keep playing at the highest level.
“As I want to stay in the France team I could not stay in the Championship. There will be discussions. I hope they will go in my opinion. I want to leave.
“I want to continue my career in England, at a club that plays in the Champions League because I think this best fits my style of play.”
Sissoko was simply too good in theEuro 2016 final against Portugal.
