Toulouse star nears Newcastle switch

Moussa Sissoko will be left out of Toulouse's matchday squad on Wednesday night - and he could be on his way to Newcastle United.

talkSPORT told you on Monday the 23-year-old’s representatives plan to hold talk with Toon chiefs on Wednesday ahead of a move.

And speculation that he could leave for Tyneside has increased after sources in France indicated he would not be travelling to Paris St-Germain for a cup tie on Wednesday.

The France international is out of contract in the summer but Toulouse are willing to sell him for £2.5m during this window.

The decision to leave him out will also interest QPR, with Rangers boss Harry Redknapp in the market for a new midfielder this month.
