Tottenham Hotspur head coach Jose Mourinho has spoken highly of Moussa Sissoko, as quoted in Metro.

Mourinho has raved about the Tottenham midfielder, and has said that he can adapt to different ways of playing.

The Portuguese boss also praised Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and has given his verdict on French midfielder Tanguy Ndombele as well.

Metro quotes Mourinho as saying: “Hugo is Hugo. He is one of the best goalkeepers in the world period.

“Moussa, he is a team player, he is a stable guy, he is the guy physically is very strong, is very adaptive to different ways of play.

“Tanguy, I have to be honest, Tanguy is the kind of guy that you always expect more from than what he gives me. Because he is so talented, that you always expect more, more. Because the talent is amazing.”

Important player for Tottenham Hotspur

Sissoko does not always get the credit that he deserves, and it is great of Mourinho to publicly acknowledge him.

The former Newcastle United star is a hard-working midfielder who knows how to follow instructions and keeps things simple in the middle of the park.

The 31-year-old has not always been a consistent performer for Spurs and has not always been guaranteed a place in the starting lineup.

Consistency is something that Sissoko needs to work on, but there is no doubt that on his day he can be a force to be reckoned with.

According to WhoScored, the France international midfielder has made 14 starts and eight substitute appearances in the Premier League and has made five starts and three substitute appearances in the Europa League for Spurs so far this season.
