Moussa Sissoko wants Newcastle United exit

13 July 2016 - 06:17

Reported Liverpool and Arsenal target Moussa Sissoko has reiterated his desire to leave Newcastle United in the current transfer window. The 26-year-old was impressive for France at the European championships, and this has caught the radar of top European clubs.

Magpies boss Rafael Benitez had earlier insisted that Sissoko would not be put up for sale despite speculation over a &pound35m price tag on his head.

But, the player remains hopeful of securing a fresh challenge over the summer as he is not keen on plying his trade in the Championship next season.

"For me, it changes nothing. The interested clubs will know how to find common ground. I hope that it will be as early as possible," he told French publication L'Equipe.

Sissoko, who joined from Toulouse for just &pound1.8m in 2013, has appeared in 133 games for the Magpies.
