#2 Moussa Sissoko (Tottenham Hotspur)
Tottenham’s club record signing, Moussa Sissoko has had a season to forget so far. The former Newcastle United man was wanted by plenty of top clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea and PSG, but Spurs were successful in convincing the Frenchman to join them.
However, Sissoko has struggled to have a positive impact with even Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino criticising the Frenchman’s impact, completely leaving out Sissoko from the matchday squad against Chelsea:
“Football is not about money,” Pochettino said when asked about Sissoko’s absence. “It is about players being better, and that they show on the training ground that they are better than another team-mate and that they deserve to be involved or not. In my opinion, I need to take the decisions and I believe that the players that started in the game [on Saturday] and the players on the bench deserved to be involved in the game.”
Sissoko will definitely need to do a lot more if he is to justify his hefty price tag. The below video shows why Tottenham were so keen on signing:
