Toulouse midfielder Moussa Sissoko is extremely interested in joining Newcastle, and the Magpies are tempted to sign him, according to French sports daily L’Equipe.
Sissoko’s contract at Toulouse expires in the summer and the French side are ready to sell him this month to at least realise a small fee before losing him for free.
The midfielder has held talks with Marseille, after Elie Baup’s men agreed a fee of around €3.5M with Toulouse.
However, Sissoko is not sure on joining Marseille and is waiting to see what other options present themselves.
