Tottenham Hotspur news: Moussa Sissoko inisists he always believed he could become a success at Spurs
Tottenham Hotspur star Moussa Sissoko has insisted he always believed in his qualities having transformed from laughing stock to Champions League hero in north London.The French midfielder, 29, had a tough time in his first two seasons with the club following a 30million transfer from Newcastle United.3

Sissoko tackles Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi at the Camp Nou.

Many supporters were quick to jump on poor performances given the amount Spurs paid for his services and the player was left considering his options at the club.Sissoko, though, has stunned supporters this campaign with match-winning displays, using his powerful dribbling to help Mauricio Pochettino’s side transition from defence to attack, while also improving his positioning to allow Kieran Trippier to get further forward on the right.3

Moussa Sissokp has turned his Tottenham career around

And despite the tough times, like against Manchester City last season when supporters began leaving the stadium upon his introduction as a late substitute, Sissoko revealed his strong mindset allowed him to come back from the brink and prove his qualities.Ahead of Tottenham’s Premier League match with Burnley – which you can hear live on talkSPORT – he said of his form: Im very proud and I will try to keep [improving]. Since I came [to Tottenham] everything hasnt been easy for me, for different reasons I dont want to speak about it but the most important thing for me was to keep focussed, stay strong in my head, and keep working.I knew I had the quality to be successful here, I had to keep working and never give up and I would have the chance to be a success.Now, since the beginning of the season, Ive been playing a lot of games and Im happy with what Im doing but I need to carry on and try to improve even more and then try to become a better player and try to help the team to go higher up the table and go far in the Champions League.

Because I played at the World Cup in 2014 and the European Championship in 2016 I expected to play at the World Cup in 2018 but for different things I wasnt in the squad.3

Sissoko played in six World Cup qualifiers.

The manager had to make his choice and he decided not to pick me and I have to accept that even if it was hard.I need to move on and keep working because I still have a career in front of me and I need to look forward so thats what I have done.If I had the chance to win the Champions League it will be great for me but the World Cup will still be in my heart.I need to move on and not look back. Weve got an exciting challenge.
