Watford midfielder Moussa Sissoko has moved to Nantes for an undisclosed fee.

The 32-year-old made 38 appearances for the Hornets, scoring twice, after joining them from Tottenham Hotspur for around £3m last summer.

Sissoko, who first came to England with Newcastle in 2013, has won 71 international caps for France.

He has agreed a two-year deal with Nantes, who finished ninth in Ligue One in 2021-22.

Watford released five players, including goalkeeper Ben Foster and striker Andre Gray, following relegation to the Premier League, and Joshua King and Rob Elliot have since left the club, while Cucho Hernandez was sold to US MLS side Columbus Crew.
