It all appears Chelsea have entered the race to sign Newcastle French International winger Moussa Sissoko as Chelsea Boss Antonio Conte seems set to add more numbers to his depleted squad.
The transfer window closes tonight and hijacking of players isn't new to the face of the transfer window. Chelsea who snatched Williams from London rivals Tottenham at the eleventh hour three seasons ago, seems set to repeat the same in other to bolster their attacking options from midfield.
The Newcastle midfielder had been given permission to leave the France camp to secure a move to the Premier League with White Hart Lane a most likely destination.
According to French outlet L’Equipe; Newcastle is holding out for £30m for the Frenchman and Spurs is trying to sign him for a smaller fee, Chelsea have considered it an opportunity to steal the show from their London rivals.
Chelsea who have seen their pursuit of Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez hit a brick wall, after Real demanding a staggering £63m for the player. Chelsea could see this one as been ideal and more maximizing considering their thrift methods of spending at this era of the new Boss Antonio Conte.
