Moussa Sissoko has told FootMercato that he considered leaving Tottenham but says Mauricio Pochettino convinced him to stay at the club during a conversation on the postseason trip to Hong Kong.
Spurs manager Pochettino revealed last week that Sissoko had considered leaving the club ahead of next summer's World Cup after the France international made just eight Premier League starts last season following a £30 million move from Newcastle United.
This season has been completely different for Sissoko, who has featured in every match and scored his first goal for the club on his 44th appearance at the weekend.
