Sissoko: Arsenal have a place in my heart

Moussa Sissoko has admitted that he will leave Newcastle United for a bigger club and hopes that he joins Arsenal.

The French international has impressed at St James’ Park this season, prompting interest from a huge number of clubs and whilst Paris Saint Germain had been reported to have made a £8m bid, he remains at Newcastle for the time being.

Sissoko has now opened up about his plans to leave the club in the future as he holds ambitions to win the Champions League during his career.

“The transfer market is open, so things can happen any day, but I am focused on Newcastle,” he told Telefoot. “If anything should happen, it will. I hope I’ll leave for a bigger club one day, but I don’t know when.

“England is my priority. If Wenger calls, I’ll have a man-to-man discussion with him and then we’ll see. Arsenal has always been the club of my heart.

“I hope I’ll improve to win the Champions League one day. I don’t want to set limits to myself. I want to go higher. That’s my goal.”
