On Thursday Didier Deschamps will name his latest France squad and if the manager’s comments last week hold weight then Tottenham’s Moussa Sissoko will find himself in there.
Deschamps has long been a big Sissoko fan and last week made it clear he still trusts him, even though he accepts things aren’t fine with the player and Mauricio Pochettino. The Tottenham manager has been open about his frustration with Sissoko and it wouldn’t appear the two have hit it off.
Should Pochettino continue to not give Sissoko prominence then L’Equipe say the midfielder ‘will have to change club’ if he wishes to continue to be part of the France set up.
Tottenham fans probably wouldn’t be too sad to see Sissoko leave, even as soon as the summer transfer window, but it represents a big wasted fee.
There’s also the question of where Sissoko would end up, given his last two seasons in English football have been far from impressive.
Maybe he should hope Didier Deschamps becomes a club manager.
