The France international has said that Aurier is getting better week by week – a very positive sign indeed.

Sissoko told Ham&High: “I don’t know if it’s his best game for the club, but it’s one of his best. Week by week he’s feeling better in the team and I’m happy for him. That’s what the club wants to see from him so I hope he’s going to do better and better.

“When you change country and you don’t speak the language, it’s totally different and it’s not easy. But I think since he came he’s done very well and, game by game, he’s been better.”

Aurier has scored one goal in nine Premier League starts for Tottenham so far this season. As for Sissoko, the French midfielder has scored one goal and provided one assist in 11 league starts for Spurs so far this campaign.
