Transfer balls: Moussa Sissoko to Spurs, Chelsea show late interest and Odemwinge II
Transfer balls: Moussa Sissoko is on his way to Spurs from Newcastle. He’s been allowed to leave the France training camp at Clairefontaine to seek a new club.
Newcastle want £30m for him. Spurs are offering tuppence and an IOU. Well, not quite. Sky Sports says Newcastle will “accept five payments of £6m each for Moussa Sissoko”. The Guardian wonders, “Is it six payments of £5m each or, hang on, now it’s 15 payments of £2m each? Can we get to 30 million payments of a quid each before the midnight deadline?”
Or as Harry Redknapp tells Talksport: “If Newcastle are asking for £35million Daniel (Levy) will bid £5m.”
The paper adds that Chelsea are also talking with Sissoko.
As for Newcastle, for whom Sissoko still plays, the fans are unimpressed.
@NewcastleStats looks at Moussa Sissoko’s career:
15/16: 37 apps, 1 goal, 7 assists
14/15: 34 apps, 4 goals, 2 assists
13/14: 35 apps, 3 goals, 6 assists£30m…
People are saying Daniel Levy’s a genius for bidding £16m for Sissoko. He’s not. It’s the prices that are insane.
And finally Sissoko’s gone all Odemwinge:
Never mind. There’s always China.
