How watfordfc tried and failed to re-sign Moussa Sissoko in January
The fee was believed to be far less than what they paid in July, but paying a fee seemed to be where the potential return of Sissoko faltered.
Although a French national himself, his family have spent much of their lives in England due to his playing career at Newcastle, Tottenham and then the Hornets. Although head coach Slaven Bilic never mentioned Sissoko, he certainly fits the bill in terms of being an experienced midfield leader. Sissoko would certainly have been able to do that. He has been a regular for Nantes this season, making 22 Ligue 1, cup and Europa League appearances.Although the likes of Tom Cleverley and Imran Louza are on the verge of returning to action after long injury lay-offs, Bilic wanted another experienced option who would remove the need to rush players back.
