Newcastle Set to Retain Moussa Sissoko Amid Premier League Interest
Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko appears set to stay at St James’ Park until the end of the season, despite mounting interest from several Premier League giants.
The 25-year-old French international, who is of Senegalese descent, has been linked with high-profile moves to clubs such as Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal. His physical presence and box-to-box dynamism have attracted attention across England, with many viewing him as a strong midfield reinforcement.
However, according to reports from the Daily Star, Newcastle are not looking to part ways with the former Toulouse man in the January transfer window. Club officials reportedly see value in holding on to Sissoko for the remainder of the campaign, both for his contribution on the pitch and to potentially boost his market value ahead of the summer.
By retaining Sissoko, the Magpies aim to ensure continuity in their squad while also positioning themselves for a more lucrative transfer deal at the season’s end. The strategy suggests Newcastle are fully aware of the growing demand for the player, and are willing to play the long game in securing the best possible outcome.
Sissoko, for his part, has not publicly pushed for a move and is understood to be focused on finishing the season strongly with Newcastle. His performances will not only be key to the Magpies’ fortunes but may also determine which elite club wins the race for his signature come summer.
