LIVERPOOL -- Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko says this season will be "totally different" for him after taking part in a full preseason at the club.
Sissoko joined Spurs for £30 million, then a joint club-record fee, from Newcastle on transfer deadline day last summer, but he struggled in his first season in North London. He started just eight Premier League games, failed to score and, in November, manager Mauricio Pochettino took the unusual step of publicly criticising his effort in training and matches.
The France international was linked with a move away from the club this summer but he has started the season well, featuring in all four matches and impressing in Saturday's 3-0 win at Everton.
