Premier League target Moussa Sow staying put

Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle, Dinamo Moscow and Fenerbahce target Moussa Sow will not be allowed to leave French champions Lille this month. Reports from France suggested that the Senegalese striker would be heading for the exit door during January.

However, Lille's coach Rudi Garcia has plans for Sow, and wants to keep the striker at the club for the time being: "Moussa? On a sporting basis, his departure is unthinkable."


Garcia seems to suggest that the club would only be willing to part with the player should the financial settlement be sufficient. French media reports that 12m GBP could be enough to persuade the French side to sell their star forward.
