Moussa Sissoko is reportedly on the January wishlist of Arsenal, accoring to the Daily Mirror's John Cross.

Arsenal is believe to have approximately $30 million to spend.

Sissoko revealed this past weekend that Arsenal were his favorite club growing up.

“I have ambition. My goal is to play at the best clubs, playing the Champions League, win trophies, but today I am a Magpie and I am very happy. Arsenal were my favorite club when I was young and my idol was Patrick Vieira. I have always loved this club and I still love them.”

Newcastle has used Sissoko in more of an attacking role this season, but he's capable of playing as a holding midfielder.
