Toulouse star ready to reject QPR for Newcastle switch

France international Moussa Sissoko is ready to spurn interest from across Europe to push through a move to Newcastle United - although QPR could look to hijack Alan Pardew's bid this week.

talkSPORT revealed last week that the 23-year-old , who is out of contract in six months, is also being chased by Aston Villa, Sunderland and Fiorentina.

But Newcastle have already sounded out Toulouse over a move this month and the midfielder is believed to have informed his current club that he has his heart set on a move to the north-east.

Sissoko’s representatives will meet with senior Newcastle chiefs on Wednesday ahead of a possible move.

However, QPR are will hold a meeting with the Frenchman’s camp on Monday as they look to persuade a second player to spurn St James’s Park in favour of Loftus Road after signing Loic Remy last week.
