Earlier today it seemed Tottenham were the only team willing to take Moussa Sissoko from Newcastle United.
But now it appears Everton are in talks with the French midfielder, according to Sky Sports.
Everton are in talks with Newcastle for Moussa Sissoko.

Spurs made an initial bid of £16 million plus £2 million in add-ons for the player. Newcastle rejected the offer, making it clear that they would only accept £30 million.
Daniel Levy is seemingly unwilling to pay such an amount for a 27-year-old with little resale value, even it the deal was structured so that Tottenham would pay five instalments of £6 million.
Everton, on the other hand, appear to be close to agreeing a deal for Sissoko. The midfielder has been linked with a number of European giants over the summer, including Real Madrid and Juventus.
Newcastle had originally slapped a £35 million asking price on the player, but their stance appears to have softened. Not enough, though, for Spurs to bring Sissoko to White Hart Lane.
Everton are more likely to ncompete for champions league than us what a joke
We are in big trouble laughing stock thanks levey
I’m an Everton fan and I don’t want him near our club he’s sh*te!! So overrated…
Interesting comment, what about his euro performances? Could it have been he wasn’t motivated with you?
Them performances was for a big move there’s no way he can keep it up through out the season, we are letting McCarthy go out on loan when I’d rather see him in the team than Sissoko but we will see… I may be wrong
Cheers.
Levy = time waster. Not just re. Sissoko, but for anyone. This is exactly what he did with Soldado and Adebayor, sold both, had all Spurs fans thinking a replacement striker was inbound….and did nothing. The man’s should be prosecuted under the trade descriptions act.
Levy is right Too much for a 27 year old sulk
Where selling more players than we are buying & I’m worried we will be very thin on experience for the CL & top 4 finish.
30m for Sissoko , Levy is right not to part with that much for a 27 year old , glad he does not get held to ransom with the big moose on the well back we have enough cover . COYS
He wouldn’t have parted with that amount of cash for anybody, that’s the worrying thing.
Not until all spurs fans let Levy know that this is not right he will just keep doing this let find are voice on match day he said the new stadium money was not linked with the transfer money we just made 36 mill on so called deadwood and we buy a player today for 11 mill we are a joke and will be as long as Levy is boss
