Moussa Sissoko happy to stay at Newcastle United

Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko has insisted that he is happy to stay at the club as speculation surrounding his future continues.

Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain have both been linked with moves for the Frenchman, who has hinted that he would be open to leaving St James' Park on a number of occasions, but the 25-year-old claims that he is not pushing for a move.

"I am focused on Newcastle. I have a four-and-a-half year contract so in my head I still tell myself I am still here for four years and a half. They appreciate me here and everything is good," Sissoko told reporters.

"I am not saying that I absolutely want to go or not. If it happens, it happens. I am at Newcastle and I will continue to work until one day I have the chance to play at a very big club. Nobody has called me. My agent and I have not spoken to anyone.

"PSG is one of the best clubs in Europe. If I'm lucky they are interested with me. These are difficult things to refuse. I cannot say yes or no but it is an interest I would take into consideration."

Newcastle return to action against Hull City on Saturday afternoon.
