Chelsea Gets BOOST In Chase For £100k-Per-Week Powerful Box To Box Deadly Midfielder, Perfect Competition For Matic

France and Newcastle United Utility midfielder has reported placed his suitors on transfer alert after he failed a new contract extension unless is wage is upped to £100k-per-week, reports the Daily Mirror.

Following his consistent and impressive performance for the Magpies this term, the former Toulouse player earned a call-up to the French national team by Didier Deschamp. He will be in the French team that will face the three Lions in this international break.’

His eye-catching performance has seen Arsenal, Paris Saint Germain and Chelsea coveting him and the player has admitted his desire to star in the Champions League, per the report.

However, the Steve McClaren led Newcastle side have been struggling in the Premier League this term. Sissoko has been a stand-out performer and a key figure for the Magpies since arriving from Tolouse in the January of 2013. Selling him, will be tantamount to a set back.

The report suggests that although he wants to remain at the St James’ Park with the Magpies, not until his wage demand of £100,000-per-week is met.

John Mikel Obi has been underwhelming for Chelsea over two seasons and it is understood that he might be shown the exit of Stamford Bridge. The Blues can take advantage of the 26-year-old France born international midfielder and lure him to Stamford Bridge as replacement for Mikel.

Newcastle are two points off the relegation zone on 10 points. The aforementioned French most likely not refuse Chelsea’s advances. He has Premier League experience and would not need time to adapt.
