Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko is unlikely to stay at the club following the Magpies’ relegation to the second tier last season. The French midfielder has been a long-term target for Arsenal, but according to reports in France, Liverpool have joined the race for his signature.
Sissoko had been largely ignored by French manager Didier Deschamps throughout the group stages as he continued with his 4-3-3 system. However, following N’Golo Kante’s suspension, he tinkered his system to a flexible 4-2-3-1 where Sissoko played on the right-hand side against Iceland. He put up a brilliant performance as France eased into the semi-final, setting up a meeting with World Champions Germany.
