Moussa Sissoko signs for Spurs – and Twitter reacts hilariously

With Mauricio Pochettino spending his Deadline Day on holiday, the likelihood of Spurs making an impact looked remote as the clock ticked away.

Yet, as is so often the way, the Lilywhites grabbed the headlines with their last-minute capture of Moussa Sissoko from Newcastle.

Pochettino had been linked with a number of midfield targets, including Morgan Schneiderlin, but it was the temperamental Magpies star who eventually arrived in North London after talks with Everton.

Unsurprisingly, the Frenchman’s £30million price tag raised a few eyebrows, with Tottenham scrapping their policy of refusing to pay more than £20million for players over 25.

The 27-year-old has a lot to prove, particularly to those disconcerted fans who were quick to point out that he’s an Arsenal fan.

 

Needless to say, the Sissoko announcement was greeted by a pretty mixed reaction.

 

 

 

 

 

It wasn’t just Spurs fans either who were a little taken aback by the deal, with Everton also getting plenty of stick having thought they’d signed him – only for Sissoko to turn his phone off so they couldn’t reach him for a medical.

 

 

 

 

 

If he can rediscover his best form, then Spurs are in for a treat. Judging by the reaction, though, he’s going to have his work cut out to win White Hart Lane over.
