Moussa Sissoko’s three-and-a-half year spell at Newcastle United finally came to an end as the midfielder sealed a £30m deadline day switch to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Frenchman played 133 matches for the Magpies and scored 12 goals after joining from Ligue 1 side Toulouse in 2013 for £1.5m.
But following United’s relegation from the Premier League in May, the 27-year-old made it clear that he wanted to leave the club and managed to sign for Spurs just before the transfer window shut.
He confirmed the move via his personal Twitter account just before the deadline.
Sissoko has become an unpopular figure on Tyneside as he underperformed as the Magpies were relegated before going on to suggest that he was essentially too good to play for the club in the Championship and forcing a move away.

Here is the initial tweet:
