Watford are in talks with Tottenham over the permanent signing of Moussa Sissoko.

All parties are confident the deal will get deal before Tuesday's transfer deadline, per Sky Sports.

Sissoko, 32, joined Spurs from Newcastle on Deadline Day in August 2016 and has gone on to make over 200 appearances for the north London club.

The Hornets are signing Sissoko to replace Will Hughes, who is on the verge of joining Crystal Palace.
