Newcastle United will reportedly repel Arsenal's January interest in Moussa Sissoko.
The 25-year-old has been the Magpies' standout performer this season, with his form attracting a host of interest.
The Gunners are said to be preparing a £9m move for the powerful midfielder early next month, but according to The Express, Newcastle are in a financial position to reject the offer.
The Magpies have sold a number of their key players in recent seasons, but it is understood that the club will stand firm next month.
Sissoko joined Newcastle from Toulouse in 2012.
