BREAKING: Chelsea hijack Tottenham's bid for Sissoko!
Sissoko, 27, shined with France at EURO 2016 and has become a target of the best European clubs out there since then.
Real Madrid had been linked with welcoming the player’s services alongside Juventus and Inter.
The Frenchman, however, has agreed a transfer to Tottenham and is now travelling to England to undergo medical with the North London club ahead of signing a contract with the Spurs.
Sissoko will rejoin his France teammates in Bari, where France will face Italy tomorrow.
UPDATE: Moussa Sissoko is travelling to London, but he's not going to undergo medical with Tottenham, but he might be joining Chelsea instead.
According to L'Equipe, Spurs have informed Newcastle that they are not going to offer one more penny to their € 25 million offer and Chelsea are ready to hijack's Spurs bid and sign the Spaniard.
Kante and Sissoko could be Chelsea's starters in midfield next season. Wenger must be jealous!
Lorenzo Bettoni @lorebetto.@MoussaSissoko a été autorisé par #Deschamps à quitter Clairefontaine à 9h pour finaliser son transfert. Direction Bari pour le groupe.
