Jermaine Jenas was not impressed with the performance of Moussa Sissoko for Tottenham Hotspur against Watford, according to comments on BBC Sport.

The 28-year-old former Newcastle United midfielder featured in Tottenham’s 2-0 victory over Watford at the Wembley Stadium in London in the Premier League on Monday evening.

The French midfielder did not start the match, but the France international came on as a substitute in the 74th minute.

Former Tottenham and Newcastle midfielder Jenas was following the game for BBC Sport, and he was not impressed with the display produced by Sissoko as a substitute.

Jenas told BBC Sport towards the end of the game when Sissoko missed a chance for Spurs: “Sissoko never looked comfortable at any stage.

“A good run and the touch is OK from Kane’s pass. You wish it was the other way around as Kane can finish. He just freezes a little.”

Need to improve

Sissoko has played a bigger role this season for Tottenham than he did during the 2016-17 campaign, but his performances for the North London outfit have not always been great.

The former Toulouse and Newcastle midfielder, who earns £80,000 per week as salary according to Spotrac.com, has made 13 starts and 18 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.
