It is safe to say that Moussa Sissoko is not the most loved figure at Tottenham Hotspur.
The midfielder was under immediate pressure when he signed for the club from Newcastle United on deadline day in the summer of 2016 for a £30m fee.
However, he was unable to impress and struggled to hold down a place in Mauricio Pochettino’s team.
When he did venture out onto the field, he struggled to win over the fans with his performances.

This season, the 28-year-old started 15 Premier League games and came off the bench in a further 18.
Sissoko has often been criticised by the fans for not making an impact when on the pitch, so it did not come as a huge surprise that he was not selected to represent France at the World Cup.
The former Newcastle United player has, though, been included on the reserve list for the tournament.
Once Didier Deschamps announced his squad for Russia, Tottenham fans posted sarcastic and playful comments regarding Sissoko’s axe.
