Moussa Sissoko a target for Liverpool FC, Arsenal FC and Man City - report

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are all reportedly interested in signing Toulouse midfielder Moussa Sissoko

The 21-year-old has been linked with a move to Liverpool for most of 2011, while Manchester United have also previously shown interest in the France international.

According to the Daily Express, the Merseysiders are being joined by Arsenal and Man City in the race to sign the highly-rated young player, who is valued at around £18million.Sissoko revealed earlier this year that he would be "delighted" to join Liverpool, but has also previously stated that he wants to be playing in the Champions League.
In an interview with L'Equipe, he said: "I've had four years at Toulouse, four years in which I have really progressed. Maybe it's time for me to look elsewhere.
"Maybe a new challenge is needed for me to reach the next level.
"I need a new challenge. I need to be playing in the Champions League, quite simply. In my head, yes, I would like to go elsewhere. Everything else is out of my control."
At the age of 21, Sissoko would fit in with plans laid out by the club's owners of signing younger players who would have a re-sale value for if and when they are sold later in their career.
In addition to being a tough tackler, Sissoko would also provide the Reds with some additional creativity in midfield - qualities which will also appeal to their rivals.
