According to the Daily Mail, the 31-year-old will feature for the Baggies in a match against Indian Super League side Delhi Dynamos at The Hawthorns on Saturday.
Sissoko - not to be confused with Moussa Sissoko, who Albion unsuccessfully targeted on deadline day - is currently a free agent having most recently played for Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua
This can't be due to us looking to sign him surely, he has been a free agent since February and no club in the world has actually paid any money for him since the the 2011/12 season, since then he has been on a free or on loan, add to that no club seems to want him for any length of time.

This guy has not played at anything like a serious level since being on loan at Florentina in 2012. Undoubted a very good player back in his hayday, but so was Bobby Charlton.
Right off to bed for a nap, then when I wake up it will be the morning of transfer day again and all of this will just have been a horrible nightmare.
Sorry about the table format I did set it out but SB has taken off all of the tabs.............. damm you Sports Babble![]()
According to Wiki (and i'm not sure how accurate it is) he played 30+ times for Levante in 14-15.
La Liga was by far the best league in the world that year with Barcelona winning the Champions League and Sevilla winning the Europa.
Levante finished bottom half that year but were competitive and La Liga was far superior to the Prem in terms of quality, pressing and intensity. So it's not been that long since he's played top grade football.
Although I agree, after a season in China at his age, it's highly unlikely he's going to cut the mustard in the Prem now.
Basically smacks of desperation, but we can live in hope...
