France International Midfielder Moussa Sissoko Chased By Liverpool, Tottenham & Lyon


Toulouse youngster Moussa Sissoko continues to court interest from around Europe, though talk of a move to the Premier League has escalated, with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur continuing to lead the chase from England, while Olympique Lyonnais maintain a French interest in the dynamic midfielder.

According to Le Parisien, Sissoko has a release clause set at a value of €20 million, which could be triggered by any of the aforementioned sides, though the 20-year-old would appear to be outside the reach of OL, who have a €25m budget to sign around three players this summer.

Les Gones have already taken a serious interest in the central player previously, having seriously courted him during the last winter window. A move abroad now seems more likely for the Paris-born player, whose style has seen him compared to Mouhamadou Diarra and Patrick Vieira.

Sissoko has been involved at first team level in the Pink City in each of the last three seasons, but this campaign marked something of a breakout. In addition to playing all but one fixture and scoring seven goals, the midfielder also won two caps for France.

A host of European clubs, including Juventus, have previously been associated with the midfielder.
