Tottenham Transfer News: Moussa Sissoko Denies Spurs Exit, Top Rumours

Moussa Sissoko has declared he is happy with life at Tottenham Hotspur and has no plans to depart the club this summer.

The France international has failed to retain a starting spot in manager Mauricio Pochettino's selection, prompting rumours of a swift exit after his £30 million summer 2016 transfer from Newcastle United.

According to James Benge of the London Evening Standard, the midfielder recently answered questions about his future in a video on Instagram and said he intends to stay in north London.

"I'm not leaving Tottenham at the moment," Sissoko said. "I'm very happy."

Earlier reports from France suggested Sissoko was disillusioned at Spurs and that his representatives were prepared to enter into discussion with the club to find a resolution.

L'Equipe (h/t Chris Waugh of Chronicle Live) had reported Pochettino would be happy to sell at a loss and might take £17 million if a buyer met the price.

Sissoko was impressive for France at UEFA Euro 2016, but he has not replicated that form in the Premier League this term.

The 27-year-old has started just six games in the Premier League this season, according to WhoScored.com, coming off the substitutes' bench on 11 occasions.

In other Spurs news, the club are prepared to "cut their losses" with Vincent Janssen and sell the striker in the summer.

According to John Cross of the Mirror, Spurs will attempt to sell the former AZ Alkmaar player before they have completed the payments of the deal that brought him to the Lane. Janssen has yet to score from open play in England's top division and has failed to offer sufficient cover for leading man Harry Kane.

Janssen's failure has seen Kane overused, and the England international suffered an injury at a vital stage of the campaign.

The striker recently said he believes he has a future in the Premier League despite his difficult debut season.

Janssen told Voetbal International (h/t Benge) he is unhappy with his lack of playing time but is not despondent.

"I'm not satisfied with the amount of playing time in recent months," said Janssen. "But I remain positive. Moreover, things are going very well at Tottenham Hotspur. I'm not going to walk around as the only player whining. That makes no sense."

Pochettino has suggested the player could be given additional chances to start after his recent substitute appearances, per ESPN FC's Ben Pearce:

Sissoko was a risky signing by Spurs. Though he was in good form for France, that followed an abject season with Newcastle as the Magpies were relegated.

The midfielder was still a standout during his three years at his former club but rarely inspired Newcastle to better results.

Janssen appeared to be a good fit for Pochettino's squad and an excellent alternative to Kane, but many strikers find the pace of the English game problematic, and the Dutchman has appeared out of his depth.

Both players are likely to be sold in the summer as the coach hunts for players to add weight to his options.
