The 27-year-old joined Tottenham Hotspur in the summer.
Speaking to reporters via ESPN, Moussa Sissoko says he could not turn down the “good opportunity” to join Tottenham Hotspur and has no regrets over such a move.
Tottenham equaled their club-record transfer fee last month by spending £30 million on bringing the French winger in from Newcastle United.
The 27-year-old started both of Spurs’ last two Premier League games, and both were victories following narrow wins at home to Sunderland and away to Middlesbrough.
Of course, it is far too early to say whether Sissoko is going to be a hit or miss in North London, but if he replicates the sort of form he showed for France during Euro 2016 then Mauricio Pochettino could have a major asset on his hands.
Unlike at Newcastle, Sissoko is not guaranteed to start every week, given the competition for places in Pochettino’s squad, but the jet-heeled attacker is relishing the chance to do well with the Lilywhites, and says he has no regrets about the switch yet.
“Of course, I can’t regret it. Tottenham is a fantastic club — it was a good opportunity for me to come here,” Sissoko told reporters, via ESPN.
“Everything is here to do well. We have a strong team, a big squad, we’re fighting to finish at the top of the league and we’re in the Champions League.”
It seems odd that Sissoko was even put in the position of saying whether he regrets the move or not, given the brief amount of time he has been at the club.
But with Tottenham unbeaten from six Premier League outings, and involved in the Champions League, he is unlikely to be kicking himself for leaving Championship side Newcastle at the moment.
