Newcastle United midfielder Moussa Sissoko is desperate to finally earn his dream switch to Emirates Stadium, with Spanish news outlet Marca reporting that he “loves the idea” of moving to Arsenal this summer.

With the Magpies set to play Championship football next season, he wants to complete a move away from St James’ Park. Liverpool are believed to be willing to offer the attacking midfielder an early return to the English top-flight, but the player seemingly favours an Arsenal move.

Sissoko has been linked with a move to Arsenal for quite some time now, but Arsenal’s interest in the French international has cooled down, thanks to a series of underwhelming displays for Newcastle. Despite Arsenal not being interested in his services, the 26-year-old French international, a reported Arsenal admirer, has issued numerous come-and-get-me pleas to the London club.

Arsenal have a wealth of options in the midfield in spite of the departure of three veteran midfielders in Mathieu Flamini, Mikel Arteta, and Tomas Rosicky. The midfield is so stacked that highly-talented youngsters such as Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Daniel Crowley, and Jon Toral are all set to go out on loan again. In addition, with Arsenal’s new number 20 in Jeff Reine-Adelaide being promoted to the first team, signing a midfielder is not high on the Premier League runners-up’s agenda.

However, Arsene Wenger is looking to add a world-class striker to his roster after bringing down Granit Xhaka and Takuma Asano.

Familiar names such as Romelu Lukaku, Alexandre Lacazette, and Alvaro Morata have been linked with a move; Arsenal can be tipped to announce the arrival of one of the above-mentioned three in the next few days.

Much needed because of his physicality and experience... Our team (Arsenal) looks like a bunch of little kids passing the ball to boredom and managed by the "grandpa" of football...
I know some fans (usually the deluded ones) are more than happy with fourth (or this time second behind Leicester), but competing is about winning trophies, major trophies... Arsenal will never be a top club until we grab the EPL again and especially the Champions league (for this one, we are just million miles away...).

I want us to agree that we buy him, to add the squad in case of injury and of course we need physical players; midfielder, defender and a skillful attacker please

I think a player like sissoko is needed if nothing for injury crisis that ALWAYS hits us every season it will be good to have that one player who isn't easily injured or fatigued

I agree with Denis Bergkamp when he says we need Physicality, if you look Arsenal back four, there is no physical defender, so if Arsenal sign him, it will be an improvement at the back. We cannot depend on soft players every time, we need someone who is aggressive.
