Arsenal lining up £16m Moussa Sissoko bid?

Arsenal are reportedly lining up a bid for Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko.

The 25-year-old has been in impressive form, but he has recently spoken of his admiration for the Gunners.

According to The Mirror, Arsene Wenger has been given £20m to bolster his squad in January and he is said to be plotting a £16m move for the French international.

Sissoko joined Newcastle from Toulouse in January 2013 and has gone on to make over 70 appearances for the Magpies.
