Newcastle
United midfielder Moussa Sissoko has expressed his desire to leave James Park side to play for a better club.
Arsene
Wenger has clearly said that he will be signing a defensive midfielder this
month as they struggle with injury problems. Mesut
Ozil has returned but Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere are still absent for the
first team action and Arsenal are struggling in the midfield.
Sissoko
who told few months ago that he wants to play for a Champions League club has
now said that he is ready to leave the Magpies for the Gunners.
Sissoko
told Telefoot: “The transfer market is
open, so things can happen any day, but I am focused on Newcastle.”
The
player is currently concentrating on his Newcastle Untied career but would
certainly move if a better club offer him
“England is my priority. If [Arsene]
Wenger calls, I’ll have a man-to-man discussion with him and then we’ll see.
Arsenal has always been the club of my heart.”
The
Frenchman has clearly said that he will not deny a move to Arsenal if Arsene
Wenger shows interest in his services.
He
further added: “I hope I’ll improve to
win the Champions League one day. I don’t want to set limits to myself. I want
to go higher. That’s my goal.”
The
Magpies could agree to sell him only if the right offer comes which is around £20million.
Sissoko is likely to follow the footsteps of his countrymen Yohan Cabaye and Mathieu Debuchy who both moved to the Champions League clubs.
The
25-year-old has been a vital player for the Premier League side since his £1.7million
move from Toulouse in 2013.
