After struggling during the early part of his Tottenham Hotspur career, Moussa Sissoko has become a key player for the club in recent seasons.

Moussa Sissoko has joked that he hasn’t won the Ballon d’Or yet because Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are ‘still here’, as he also stated that he has ‘no problem’ with West Ham’s Mark Noble.

France international Sissoko was doing a Q & A on his personal Instagram account, where he was answering quick-fire questions from fellow supporters.

Both Tottenham and West Ham have always had a fierce rivalry and during a Premier League encounter in 2017, Noble and Sissoko clashed off the ball during one of their many hotly-contested matches.

Sissoko insisted on his personal Instagram account that he has ‘no problem’ with Noble, as he also commented on the Ballon d’Or.

Sissoko changed his fortunes around at Tottenham last season when he produced a number of outstanding displays for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

He showcased that once again on Saturday when Spurs beat Crystal Palace 4-0, with Heung-Ming Son netting a brace for his team.

That result moves Pochettino’s side into the top-four and they will be hoping that in these coming weeks they can add some consistency to their game.

Their first clash of the season against West Ham will take place in November at the London Stadium before the duo meet each other once again in March.
