Spurs are reportedly ready to sell Moussa Sissoko so should West Ham take a chance on him?
Moussa Sissoko may have played his last match for Tottenham Hotspur, with the Mirror reporting that the midfielder is among five players manager Mauricio Pochettino is getting ready to move on.
Toby Alderweireld, Mousa Dembele, Fernando Llorente and Danny Rose make up the quintet, with Pochettino wanting to freshen up his squad over the summer.
What next?
Sissoko’s two years at Spurs have been fairly turbulent, with the France international highlighted as one of the flops of the season in 2016/17 following his transfer from Newcastle United.
Yet Pochettino stuck by the 28-year-old and performances have improved this term, but clearly not enough for the Argentine to keep the midfield ace in his long term plans.
However, West Ham United are “crying out for a central midfielder or two” according to football.london and while fans may groan at the signing of a supposed failure from Tottenham, Sissoko has previously had a good reputation.
The Frenchman isn’t exactly held in high regard at St James’ Park either, but his form there and with Toulouse before that has seen him earn 53 caps for his country to date and he is also a versatile player in the middle with the ability to play on either flank or centrally.
