Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has said that Mousa Sissoko can be a good solution for the club in midfield this season.
After arriving at the North London club during the summer prior to last season, Sissoko was largely disappointing and was linked with a move away this summer.
He was expected to be a squad rotation player for this season, however injuries to Victor Wanyama and Mousa Dembele have handed the Frenchman a second chance to impress and so far he appears to be making the most of his lifeline.
Vertonghen who is a key player for Mauricio Pochettino’s side, believes that Sissoko has what it takes to succeed and said, “He (Dembele) feels his own body the best and hopefully he’s back 100 per cent real quick because he’s a very important player for us.
“Of course we’ve got some other options – Moussa Sissoko can play in that role as well, we’ve got Winksy (Harry Winks) on the bench and [Victor] Wanyama coming back. Eric [Dier] has done brilliantly there.
“When we play five at the back, we need one midfielder less so it’s easier for us to make a different formation.”
