The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has been in fine form recently.
Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko spoke to reporters, after earning a recall to the France national team, and admitted that he is delighted to be back involved regularly with the first-team, whilst suggesting that his preference is to play in the middle of the park, as quoted by Football.London.
The 29-year-old joined Spurs from Newcastle United in the summer of 2016, for a fee believed to be worth somewhere in the region of £30 million, but he initially struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular in north London.
Sissoko has been in excellent form in recent weeks, however, and is slowly beginning to prove his critics wrong.
The Frenchman has been utilised as a right winger, a left winger and a central midfielder by Mauricio Pochettino, but he hinted to reporters that he prefers playing in a central role, although he did insist that he is happy to play anywhere to help his team, as quoted by Football.London:
“I am playing football and I have always said I feel better playing in the middle, but the manager makes the decisions and sometimes I play on the left or the right, and I have to do a job. The last few games, maybe I have played in the centre and felt good, but against City I was on the right and I felt good as well. The most important thing is to try and focus on the game and help the team and do the job properly.”
Next up for Tottenham is a home game against Chelsea on November 24th, and Sissoko will be hoping for another chance to impress Pochettino against Maurizio Sarri’s side.
