Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko is changing minds in North London.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko has suddenly become something of a cult hero – and has admitted that he loved hearing the fans chant his name against Chelsea on Saturday evening.
Sissoko has been something of a flop since his August 2016 move from Newcastle United, and many expected him to move on in the summer as Spurs were linked with a host of other midfielders.
The Frenchman is starting to change some minds though, as his recent performances have seen him become a regular starter for Mauricio Pochettino, making himself something of a cult hero of late.
Sissoko was particularly impressive in the 3-1 home win over Chelsea on Saturday evening, and doesn’t look set to lose his place in Pochettino’s midfield any time soon.
The major turnaround has resulted in fans chanting Sissoko’s name, which few could have predicted at…basically any point of his time with the North London club.
Ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Inter Milan, Sissoko has been asked about the chants, and has told the club’s official Twitter account that hearing the chants was a ‘great feeling’, and acknowledged that every player wanted that emotion from supporters.
