Arsenal lining up Moussa Sissoko bid?

Arsenal are reportedly mulling over a January move for French midfielder Moussa Sissoko, according to The Mirror.

Sissoko has been in top form for Newcastle United this season, and has recently spoken of his admiration for the North London outfit.

The Mirror reports that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been given a fee of around £20m to strengthen his squad in the New Year and he is considering making a £16m move for the former Toulouse star.

Sissoko has made 70 appearances for the Magpies since his move in January 2013.
