Newcastle are closing in on a deal for teenage Paris-Saint Germain defender Moussa Sissako, according to RMC, via Get French Football News.

They report that a fee and personal terms are close to being finalised for the 18-year-old central defender, as Newcastle once again look to plunder the French market.

Sissako apparently has no future under Thomas Tuchel at Parc des Princes and the Magpies are primed to pounce despite the teenager having a contract until 2021.

But many Magpies fans have seen their club look to plunder French bargains in the past and at a time when they need more experienced, established cover, they look to be back to their old tricks again.

Throw in the fact that his name is very close to former Magpie Moussa Sissoko and many supporters are feeling like their club has gone back in time.

They are slightly worried about what the club is doing, so close to the deadline when their squad still looks significantly weaker than the one Rafa Benitez left behind.
