Chelsea transfer news: Moussa Sissoko’s move to Tottenham hijacked by Antonio Conte as Blues outbid rivals
MOUSSA SISSOKO is patiently waiting at Paris airport for Newcastle’s confirmation of a £30million offer.
SunSport can confirm Newcastle are accepting a staged-payment structure for the transfer, and that Chelsea have now joined Tottenham in discussing with Sissoko’s representative.

The 27-year-old French midfielder left Clairefontaine – where Les Bleus train near Paris – to head to London and thrash out a move.
Spurs have offered £16million on Deadline Day and seem to have an advantage on the Blues, although the North Londoners are believed to be unwilling to meet the asking price of £30million for the box-to-box midfielder.
