Watford enter talks to sign Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko as Hornets chase replacement for Will Hughes who is set to join Crystal Palace for £10m

Watford have opened talks for Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko after agreeing to sell Will Hughes to Crystal Palace for £10m.

The 32-year-old Sissoko still has two years left on contract but wants a new challenge as he recognises he will have limited game time under Nuno Espírito Santo as the Portuguese takes charge of a re-shaped squad.

The Tottenham boss hopes to make new additions but the club have been rebuffed in their bid to sign Wolves’ Adama Traore.
