Tottenham Hotspur winger Moussa Sissoko is a “last resort” target for Inter Milan this month, according to Spanish outlet AS, as he struggles to make a proper impact at the London Stadium.

However, if they fail to land the Spaniard from Zinedine Zidane’s side, then Sissoko could be targeted to join Inter and propel them into the top three of Serie A.

Sissoko, who starred at Newcastle and Toulouse before moving to Spurs, could be tempted to leave Spurs this month with only a few months left to prove why he warrants a place in France’s World Cup squad.
