Tottenham agree Sissoko transfer
What a way to end this summer’s Deadline Day as Tottenham have pipped Everton at the very end of the window to agree Moussa Sissoko’s transfer from Newcastle in a reported £30million deal.
Sky Sports ran a story couple of hours ago of Everton agreeing fee and personal terms for Sissoko but the Spurs decided to go ahead and match Everton’s £30m offer and it saw the player’s head turned.
Tottenham have the Champions League advantage over Everton and that is where I feel Spurs won the race and have now agreed to sign Sissoko on a 5-year-deal in this stunning deadline day transfer move.
