Rumour Reel: Reds to seal Sissoko switch while Saints negotiate for Nagy

Robbie Purves | July 1, 2016

As the summer transfer window officially swings open, clubs have wasted no time chasing down their targets one by one as they look to complete some of their business while Euro 2016 hots up.

Sissoko to seal Reds switch?

Liverpool are reportedly tracking wantaway Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko.

The France midfielder revealed earlier this month that he hopes to leave the Magpies this summer and said a move to Arsenal would be “a dream”.

However, Arsene Wenger is not interested in his fellow Frenchman after sealing the signature of midfielder Granit Xhaka.

Now, according to reports in France, Liverpool are firm favourites to land Sissoko and will intensify their efforts after Euro 2016. Rafael Benitez’s side have already rejected a £9m offer from Hamburg for the 26-year-old, and is keen to keep him at St James’ Park for the upcoming Championship campaign.

Sissoko is determined to leave Tyneside before the start of the new season, though, and it is understood a bid of £12m would be enough to prise him away.

Saints negotiate Nagy deal

According to reports, Southampton are in pole position to land Ferencvaros star Adam Nagy amid a flutter of strong interest from Marseille, and Premier League champions Leicester.
