Exodus? Sissoko latest Tottenham player open to departure

Moussa Sissoko has joined the growing list of players looking to leave Tottenham Hotspur.

Serge Aurier and Harry Kane have both declared their intent to leave Spurs this summer.

And France international Sissoko says he would also be an open to departing the north London club.

"This is my 5th year at the club and I have had some very good moments," Sissoko told Foot Mercato.

"Now, I am a person who does not close any doors. If a new challenge presents itself, we will see what I do.

"But today, I do not close any doors concerning my future, because as I said, it was a difficult year for me at the club.

"I also want to see what the club will decide. Maybe they will say to me: "Moussa, it is time to go elsewhere." Or maybe they will say to me: "Moussa, we absolutely want you to stay." In any case, I am open to all propositions today because I have experienced quite a difficult year.

"I want to play football. I am happiest when I am on the pitch. I will soon be 32 so I am closer to the end than the beginning of my career.

"What I want, is to continue to play, and enjoy myself. So I am not saying that I absolutely want to leave Tottenham. I feel good over there, I have had good moments and I feel good with the fans and my teammates, who I get on well with. We will speak with the club and we will take a decision at that moment."
