Moussa Sissoko has been given permission to leave the French national squad training camp by manager Didier Deschamps. The Newcastle United player has been linked with a transfer all summer, and will be hoping to get a move before the window shuts this evening.
Multiple claims from France report that Deschamps has given his permission for the national camp exit, and there’s only one reason he’d do that. L’Equipe reported in their newspaper this morning that Tottenham were in advanced negotiations for the player yesterday.
English newspaper The Mirror are now saying an offer has been made.
Spurs have bid £16m for Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko. Interesting considering Newcastle want £30m+ for him. More @MirrorFootball

And over in France, L’Equipe journalist Bruno Constant has explained he thinks Tottenham is a perfect destination for the Newcastle United midfielder.
Sissoko quitte Clairefontaine pour aller négocier son transfert, à… Tottenham ?

Tottenham serait parfait pour Sissoko : rester en PL (son souhait), la LDC (enfin), un super entraîneur (Pochettino) et vivre à Londres.
