Newcastle's Moussa Sissoko to consider future in the summer

Moussa Sissoko expects to stay at Newcastle for the remainder of the season, but has revealed he will consider his future after the European Championships.
Widespread newspaper reports have linked Sissoko with a move to Italian side Napoli this month following the arrivals of midfielders Jonjo Shelvey and Henri Saivet at St James' Park.
Sissoko is expected to be named in Didier Deschamps' France squad for Euro 2016 this summer and the 26-year-old says he does not want to jeopardise his inclusion by leaving Newcastle during the January transfer window.
"I do not think I will leave Newcastle. The club will not want to let me go. And then the question arises about the timing, a few months before the Euros," midfielder Sissoko told Telefoot.
"I have been called up to the national team despite our results. I get to play every weekend and perform well.
"Like every player I dream of winning titles and matches in the biggest clubs. I will think about my future after the Euros."
Sissoko, who is contracted to Newcastle until June 2019, joined the Magpies in 2013 and has since made 118 appearances for the club, scoring 11 times.
