Newcastle star Sissoko emerges on Juventus radar as Pogba replacement

Moussa Sissoko is a reported target for Italian giants Juventus, according to reports.

It is believed that the Serie A champions have the French midfielder in their sights as a possible replacement for Manchester United target Paul Pogba.

Sissoko is desperate to leave Newcastle United following their relegation from the Premier League and has already been heavily linked with Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Everton.

However, the Bianconeri are eyeing a quality player to fill the void left by Pogba's expected £100million return to Old Trafford and could be prepared to pay the £35m the Magpies are asking for.

In the meantime, 26-year-old Sissoko has been told to report to pre-season training on August 1 even though his future at St James' Park is up in the air.
