He joined Tottenham Hotspur for £30 million in August.

Speaking to reporters and quoted by ESPN, Moussa Sissoko has said that he will only get better and better for Tottenham Hotspur.

The 27-year-old winger joined Tottenham in a £30 million move from Newcastle United toward the end of the summer transfer window.

Sissoko has started Spurs’ last two Premier League games; both of which were wins, at home to Sunderland and away to Middlesbrough.

Such a pricey investment brings its own pressure to perform, but Sissoko, who lit up Euro 2016 with France after a mixed season with Newcastle last term, is confident that he will gradually improve for the Lilywhites.

Speaking to reporters and quoted by ESPN, he said: “Since I came to Tottenham, I’ve worked a lot and tried to learn the style of this team. It’s different to Newcastle. But I’m happy, and game by game I’ll get better.”

One positive for Sissoko and Tottenham is that he is not guaranteed a spot in the first XI every week, which could, and should, breed constant motivation.

There is competition for the Frenchman and he is simply unlikely to find himself being comfortable in the side, given the other options at Mauricio Pochettino’s disposal.

We saw how much of a talent he is when a motivated Sissoko dazzled during the Euros, and Spurs fans will hope to see the same form for their side eventually.
