Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko has reiterated his desire to join a Premier League side after rating his performances for France at Euro 2016 as “10 out of 10”.

Juventus will soon be cash rich after selling Paul Pogba to Manchester United for £100m, and Sissoko is one of the replacements they are eyeing.
And Sissoko is clear in that he would prefer to remain in the Premier League if possible, though he will not completely rule out a switch elsewhere.
A number of clubs at home and overseas have been linked with the attacking midfielder, but Liverpool and Juventus are ready to firm up their interest in Sissoko.
The Blues are not willing to part with the Serbia worldwide Matic for anything less than €30m (£25.2m), while Newcastle want €41.7m (£35m) for France global Sissoko.
But there has been a fresh twist in the race to sign the 26-year-old, amid news that Real Madrid are also considering a summer transfer swoop.
Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez was sacked by Madrid previous year but his knowledge of the Spanish team’s squad could work to his advantage in any potential transfer talks. “Moussa Sissoko, we want you to go”, was the chant from the Toon Army.

“We will see him on the first of August, but until then it is not really worth talking about anything because he is not here”.
