Moussa Sissoko thanked God for allowing his a deadline-day transfer from Newcastle United to Tottenham Hotspur to go through - but inside seven months his dream move has turned into a nightmare.

The 27-year-old has started just six Premier League matches for the north London club and was dropped from the France squad last week - with Florian Thauvin taking his place - due to his lack of gametime.

Now French publication L’Equipe, with who Sissoko has close ties, have revealed that the midfielder’s representatives are set for showdown talks with the Spurs hierarchy next month.

It is reported that Tottenham are willing to let the former Magpie leave for just £17million (€20m) this summer - little more than half the £30m they paid Newcastle at the beginning of the season.

Sissoko repeatedly expressed his desire to leave Tyneside last summer, against the club’s permission, and did not play a role during the opening games of the season.

Eventually he earned his move to a “bigger club”, as he described it, and Sissoko spoke of playing in Europe and winning titles at White Hart Lane.

Yet now, after being dropped from the France squad - he was an ever-present Didier Deschamps selection while at Newcastle - and after playing just 1,210 minutes for Spurs in all competitions so far this season, Sissoko may look to leave.

Particularly given the fact he has regularly been an unused substitute in Spurs’ recent matches, including the 2-1 victory over Southampton last weekend.
