Coral’s rumour reel

Today’s tabloids are awash with Tottenham transfer rumours, with Newcastle United’s Moussa Sissoko supposedly the centre of attention and a player swap potentially on the cards.

While, after losing Lewis Cook, Leeds United could see another young-gun in Charlie Taylor leave for the Premier League, as West Bromwich Albion circle.

Read on to find out about these rumours and much more…

Spurs in player swap for Sissoko?

Despite having already added engine room dynamo Victor Wanyama to his midfield roster, Tottenham tactician Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly still in the market for another man in midfield.

Relegated Newcastle have managed to cling onto some big name players so far despite their drop into the Championship, but could they be tempted to sell to Spurs in a player swap for Sissoko?

The adaptable France international can cover many roles and tasks across the pitch, which would make him a useful squad player for the London club alongside energetic Wanyama, silky shield Eric Dier, box-to-box Moussa Dembele, playmaker Christian Eriksen and goal threat Dele Alli.

Potentially headed in the other direction to St James’ Park, as a sweetner for Sissoko’s services in a player plus cash deal, may be 21-year-old Nabil Bentaleb. The Algerian talent has spades of potential but has not yet kicked on and could find more game time in the Northeast.
