Nuhn, Cancelo, Kondogbia and Sissoko


TRANSFER TALK


Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United sent a scout to watch Ghanaian central defender Kasim Adams Nuhu according to Swiaa newspaper Blick.

Both attended the UEFA Champions League game between Young Boys (Switzerland) and CSKA Moscow (Russia) on August 15. How did Nuhu fare?


The 22-year-old (23 next June) centre-back made his mark, he scored the winner in injury time, unfortunately, for the opposition, CSKA MOscow.

Tottenham target and Portuguese right-back João Cancelo has flown to Italy to undergo a medical and complete his move to Inter Milan. The 23-year-old (24 next May) Valencia man was wanted by Chelsea. 

We were also reported to be interested in 24-year-old (25 next February) French defensive midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia, but he is going the other way in the player-plus-cash deal.

Trabzonspor president Muharrem Usta has flown to London again to try to complete the transfer of 28-year-old (29 in August) midfielder Moussa Sissoko. Mauricio Pochettino really needs to complete the signing of Ross Barkley before letting him go and that is waiting on Gylfi Sigurdsson completing his move to Everton.

We still want a permanent deal while the Turkish side want him on loan with an option to buy and have offered a £2.74 million (€3m - AUS$4.45m - US$3.53m) loan fee. That would leave us out of pocket as we would then have to pay Newcastle United another years payment for him.
