Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has real fears of Moussa Sissoko being sold in January.
The Telegraph says there are serious concerns about players being sold, with Moussa Sissoko earning admiring glances from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Cheick Tiote playing like someone who had decided he wanted to leave in the summer, but was prevented from doing so as Newcastle were asking for too much money.
Pardew has already admitted Newcastle will be "vulnerable" in January when it comes to big clubs bidding for their players, which was a polite way of saying "we will always sell as long as someone is willing to match our asking price for them."
