Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has admitted Moussa Sissoko is only at the club due to a lack of interest from other teams in the summer.
The Frenchman joined Spurs in 2016 and struggled to make any impact in his first season, prompting speculation he may be on the move. He remained at the club for the 2017-18 campaign, though Pochettino has said the player wanted out, and he would have been sold had more concrete interest emerged.
"The player was the first [to be] interested to move or to leave because he wanted to play more in a season that has the World Cup at the end," Pochettino said, per David Hynter of the Guardian.
