Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko has dismissed claims he's favoured by France coach Didier Deschamps.

It's been suggested in the French media that Sissoko is Deschamps' "darling".

Sissoko told RMC: "These are things that have always been there.

"I have always had this label but I have ignored all that. When I look at all my matches in the French team, I have always answered this, been successful, whether in a friendly, during the 2014 World Cup, the Euro 2016 ... I also know that in football we cannot please everyone."
