The great Basile Boli is urging Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko to consider a return to France.

Sissoko has battled to make an impact at Spurs since his August arrival from Newcastle United and it's expected he will be allowed to leave this summer.

For his part, the midfielder has insisted he's determined to make it at Spurs. However, it's emerged he's now being encouraged to return to France and join Marseille.

OM icon Boli, reports Le 10 Sport, met with Sissoko at the recent Toulouse 80th birthday celebrations. The Spurs man is a former TFC player.

Boli and Sissoko were spotted in deep conversation and it's suggested the topic of signing for OM was raised.

Marseille coach Rudi Garcia would welcome the arrival of Sissoko, who he regards very highly.
