Spurs ace Sissoko: Dad and I proud of fans' song

Moussa Sissoko is proud of his relationship with Tottenham fans.

Spurs supporters have celebrated his impressive form by singing a song with the lyrics: "Wake me up before you go, go. Who needs Bale when you've got Sissoko?".

Sissoko told Sky Sports: "First of all I think about my father because he should be proud of what he hears from the fans. People are singing your name, it's something amazing. When I was a kid I wanted to live these kinds of moments and now I am there. So I am very happy for that.

"When I was young my life wasn't easy but he did everything for me and knew I wanted to be a footballer. He pushed me and followed me everywhere. Now I can say I have realised my dreams so he is very happy and proud, and I am too."
