DONE DEAL: Sissoko deal agreed Turkish report suggests


TRANSFER TALK


We have tried to flog him to China, Marseille didn't want to pay his wages, nor did Lyon, nor did WBA and now our fingers are crossed that the Turks will cough up the wages he is after. It is unlikely, but then there are tax advantages for millionaires in Turkey if they employ people I believe, so it is possible a deal could be done.

He flew out by private jet and has had talks with Trabzonspur who are a Super Lig side based in the city of Trabzon. They have won 6 Super Lig titles and finished third last season.

It is the Turkish clubs golden anniversary, they were formed in 1967 and a marquee signing may be what they are seeking, even if it is only on loan. The French international and experienced Premier League player. He is seen as a famous star in Turkey write website Gunebakis who report a deal has been agreed.

He met with Trabzonspur President Muharrem Usta in Istanbul are reached agreement with him and his agent Özkan Doğan, who brokered a deal with Spurs for a one-year loan, over personal terms.

I believe Trabzonspur are paying a £5.36 million (€6m - AUS$8.89m - US$7.09m) loan fee. We refused to accept less as we have to pay Newcastle United an annual amount for every year he is on our books.

Naturally, we don't want to be out of pocket and this way his 'annual transfer fee' payment is covered. If we sell him next summer then we won't have to pay any more for him, the annual fee is only payable if he remains a Spurs player.
