The Gunners were not interested, but where does that put the Frenchman?
John Carver says he was delighted that the midfielder was a Toon player until at least the end of the campaign.
John Carver: “I did go on record and say that Moussa Sissoko wasn’t going anywhere, so that was pleasing.
“But I am delighted to have a group of players that we have here now.
“We are going to have problems this weekend because I will have to leave some people out the 18, which is the first time we’ve had to do that for a long time.
“So we are in a healthy position and looking forward to it."
