After endless rumours linking Chelsea with a move for Juventus and France midfielder, Paul Pogba, Jose Mourinho’s side are now being linked with Newcastle’s Moussa Sissoko according to Foot Mercato.
The report suggests that Chelsea and Man City had a £17m bid rejected during the summer and the Premier League champions will re-ignite their interest in the midfielder during the January transfer window.
More reports have emerged that Pogba did reject a move to Chelsea this summer, with the mega-money that has been reported, Sissoko would seemingly be the cheaper option.
Sissoko offers a player proven in the Premier League, as well as offering Mourinho versatility. The French international has featured mostly on the right-hand side of Newcastle’s midfield, as well as being able to play a more central role.
Sissoko joined Newcastle in 2013 from Toulouse and has featured 29 times for his native France. He isn’t quite Paul Pogba, but would you like to see Sissoko at Chelsea?
