Everton open up talks for Moussa Sissoko

Everton will continue their spending spree with a move for Newcastle United attacker Moussa Sissoko. The Frenchman is desperate to leave the Magpies in the transfer window.

The 27-year-old was in top form for France at this summer's European championships, and this has captured interest from a whole host of clubs including Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

According to L'Equipe, Toffees officials have flown to Paris to hold discussions with the versatile midfielder.

Sissoko has yet to feature for the Magpies after he sustained an ankle injury in training earlier this week.

Rafael Benitez' side currently value Sissoko at £35m, and are unlikely to accept anything less for his services this summer. He has appeared in over 130 games for Newcastle United since his switch from Toulouse three years ago.
