Sources: Sissoko arrives at Watford training ground for medical after Tottenham accept bid
Moussa Sissoko has arrived at Watford’s training ground to complete a £7million move from Tottenham, Football Insider has learned.
The London giants have accepted the Hornets’ bid for the France international, 32, after giving him the green light to leave.
A Spurs source has told Football Insider that Sissoko is undergoing a Watford medical today as he puts the finishing touches to the move.
He has been granted permission to head to Watford’s London Colney headquarters to discuss personal terms and sign a contract.
Sissoko has two years left to run on his Tottenham contract but he has not featured under Nuno Espirito Santo this season.
Instead, he looks set to complete a move to Watford.
The Premier League new boys are in the market for midfield reinforcements ahead of the window closing next week.

Football Insider broke the news on 18 August the Hornets will also be without new signing Juraj Kucka for up to three months due to injury.

He played 25 times in the Premier League last season, including 15 starts.
