​Moussa Sissoko has denied claims that he agreed to join Everton on transfer deadline day before signing for Tottenham, claiming he was "only ever interested in a Tottenham move".





The French midfielder joined the north London side in a £30m deadline day transfer, and in an interview with ​L'Equipe, claims that despite reports a move to Everton was never on the cards.

It was reported that on Wednesday's deadline day the 27-year-old was all set to complete a move to Ronald Koeman's side, until Tottenham swooped in with a late bid to match that of Everton's.





However, Sissoko has since claimed that such a move to Merseyside was never on the cards and that when such reports of a move to Everton were circulating in the media he remained in London waiting to finalise a deal with Spurs.

Speaking with the French media, the former Newcastle player claimed: '' I never went to Everton.





''It's funny, I was behind the TV, and I could see that it was done with Everton, I had signed. But I was in London and I was just waiting to sign my contract. The bottom line is that I signed in the club where I wanted to go.''





Looking forward to the next step in his footballing career, the France international added he was excited to play Champions League football.

He said: ''Now I hope to have a good season and I am happy to participate in the Champions League.''





The midfielder was then questioned on whether he had spoke to his French teammate and now club teammate Hugo Lloris before making his switch to White Hart Lane.





He said: '' Yes, we talked on the phone. He was happy for me. We have a good relationship with Hugo.''
