Tottenham fans are unlikely to be upset with the claims.
France’s Patrice Evra
Patrice Evra is reportedly trying to convince Moussa Sissoko to quit Tottenham Hotspur and join Marseille.
Maxifoot reports the former Manchester United left-back has spoken with his France teammate and has been promoting the merits of the club’s project.
Evra was convinced to leave Juventus mid-season to join Marseille, along with Dimitri Payet who signed for West Ham.
Sissoko is on Marseille’s radar, The Mirror report, with the French side backed by new American investors.
The midfielder signed for Spurs last summer but has fared terribly, failing to live up to his expensive price tag and making only eight Premier League starts.
Tottenham’s Moussa Sissoko
Tottenham are understandably keen to cash in, and won’t have any problems at all with Evra stepping in to try and persuade Sissoko to switch clubs.
He needs to leave Spurs for the sake of his international career as he will struggle to make the France squad let alone the team for World Cup 2018 if he has another season like this one.
If Marseille follow up their interest, it should be a no-brainer for Sissoko to switch to a team where he is wanted, and will join familiar teammates.
