According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko remains a target for Marseille – but he wants to remain in the Premier League.
Sissoko, 27, was heavily criticised by Newcastle fans as the Magpies were relegation to the Championship at the end of last season, but he still managed to win a big-money move.

The midfielder, formerly of Toulouse, impressed for France at Euro 2016, and his display convinced Tottenham Hotspur into signing him in a big-money deadline day deal back in August.
Many were sceptical that Sissoko had the necessary quality to make an impact at White Hart Lane, an those people have been proven right.

Sissoko started just eight Premier League games this past season, and failed to score even one goal in all competitions, whilst he could only muster two assists in a dismal campaign for the Frenchman.
Now, the Daily Mail report that Sissoko wants to quit Tottenham this summer, and Marseille are interested in taking him back to France – but the midfielder himself has other ideas.

It’s claimed that Sissoko wants to remain in England and join another Premier League club, with Marseille waiting in the wings should he fail to find a move to one of Tottenham’s divisional rivals.
Tottenham will simply want to cash in on Sissoko to the highest bidder regardless of division, given his terrible season in North London, with Mauricio Pochettino no doubt keen to splash the cash elsewhere.
