It is safe to say that Moussa Sissoko failed to live up to his club-record £30m price tag when he joined Tottenham Hotspur from Newcastle United last summer.
The midfielder struggled for game time under manager Mauricio Pochettino, starting just eight Premier League matches and coming off the bench in a further 17.
Despite only being at the North London club for just under a year, there have been reports that Sissoko could move elsewhere.
Over the weekend, The Sun claimed that West Bromwich Albion are interested in his signature, with Spurs willing to let him leave for around £20m.
However, Pochettino has publicly claimed that there is a place for the midfielder next season.
During the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, in which Sissoko has not attended due to a virus, the Argentine coach gave an update on the midfielder.
According to the London Evening Standard, Pochettino’s assistant Jesus Perez translated the manager’s comments as saying:
“He’s training at the training ground. He’s a member of the squad. He’s in [Pochettino’s] plans for the season and he is, for us, a member of the squad.”
