With West Ham denying Fenerbahce their top target, the Turkish side have now reportedly turned their attention to Tottenham.

Jack Wilshere of Arsenal is closed down by Tiemoue Bakayoko of Chelsea  during the Carabao Cup Semi-Final Second Leg at Emirates Stadium on January 24, 2018 in London, England.

Tottenham Hotspur may finally be about to get a fresh chance to shift midfielder Moussa Sissoko… and they could have Jack Wilshere to thank.

It was claimed by Turkish outlet Sabah Sport that Fenerbahce are now keen on making a summer move for Sissoko, directed by ex-Spurs director of football Damien Comolli.

Fenerbahce’s interest in Sissoko arises within the same 24 hours they were snubbed by Jack Wilshere, with ESPN reporting over the weekend they were regarded as frontrunners.

Wilshere chose to sign with West Ham, a club he claims to have supported as a boy before professing his allegiances to Arsenal.

The injury prone star signed a three year deal with the Hammers, and will remain a bitter opponent of Tottenham as he was during his time with the Gunners.

The last thing Wilshere would want to do, is do Tottenham a favour, but his switch could well work out that way.

Moussa Sissoko has flopped during his two years at Spurs, failing to win a regular place in the team and he has paid for it by being left out of France’s World Cup squad.

Now Fenerbahce are willing to offer him an escape route, providing they can come to an agreement with Tottenham.
