Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko says Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema's recall is a huge boost for France's Euros chances.

Benzema played in last night's friendly win against Wales.

Sissoko told Foot Mercato: "It is a real pleasure to find him. It is well deserved. For me, as for the other players I think, it's a great pleasure to be able to play alongside him.

"For the past five years, he has been one of the best strikers in the world. For me, they were two-three with him. What he achieves at Real Madrid is incredible. We saw a lot of strikers move to Real Madrid, but he always stayed, he always played and scored his goals. This, despite criticism.

"I have immense respect for his career. It is a great joy to be able to count on him. It must be a great pride for Karim to be back in the France team because it was something that was close to his heart.

"A player of this quality can only be a plus for the French team. We know the quality players we have. Karim will add even more to the team. So much the better for us."
