It’s clearly not enough for Spanish newspaper Marca to publish claims about transfers involving La Liga clubs or Spanish players, so they have spread their wings further on Wednesday and stated Moussa Sissoko ‘loves the idea’ of signing for Arsenal this summer.

The Newcastle United midfielder is expected to leave the Championship club this summer. That’s been the case before, but given the club’s relegation, it seems all the more serious this time around and an exit looks more likely than ever.

Marca say Arsenal are on the horizon to sign Sissoko and are at the front of the queue to sign the player. There’s other interest, but Arsenal are the only club named.

We’re unsure what inside line a Spanish newspaper would have on Sissoko and Arsenal, so there’s every chance this is an assumption based on old interest, but it’s certainly presented as something for the here and now.
