Why Do Agents Tell 'Porkies' About The Toon?

Newcastle United are NOT in talks to sign Toulouse ace Moussa Sissoko ... and are far from happy that his agent claims a deal is set to be sorted. The 21-year-old Toulouse midfielder is up for sale at €15million, a figure Newcastle will not match. The highly-rated 21-year-old midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to England this summer. One of his agents was quoted as suggesting that Liverpool and Newcastle were in talks about a deal. But skysports.com can confirm a deal is not being discussed by Premier League club Newcastle. Sources close to the club have told us that there is 'no truth' in the claims that they are looking to sign him. Sissoko's agent, Bacary Sanogo: "The link with Lyon is serious, but it is not the only one. "There are also negotiations with Liverpool, Newcastle and Inter. "Things should seriously move next week. "His priority is a club with a major sporting project, but it will not pose a problem to Moussa [to remain with Toulouse]."
