One of the most used, with Eric Dier, players (in terms of appearances) in Tottenham’s squad, Moussa Sissoko’s status at Wembley this season was never in doubt.
Happy to be in England, the France international never looked like he would be leaving in January, yet quotes from an interview with SFR Sport spread like wildfire, leading to many outlets suggesting he could return to France in the coming weeks.
Explaining he sometimes ‘missed’ Ligue 1 because a lot of his friends played there, Sissoko also made it clear he was in the league he always dreamed of playing in, immediately quashing any talk of an exit.
However, that didn’t stop RMC Sport from doing a little digging of their own, and the French outlet made it clear the player isn’t planning on returning to France in the ‘near future’, and the same goes for a departure from Spurs.
Playing enough to get in Didier Deschamps’ good books ahead of the World Cup in Russia is key for him this season, and considering he’s getting more than enough game time right now under Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham, why would he ruin that by trying something new in January?
