Moussa Sissoko has made his first appearance for Tottenham following his transfer deadline day move from Newcastle United.

The France international made his debut away to Stoke City on September 10, 2016, coming on for Chritian Eriksen.

Sissoko’s move to Spurs could cost the club up to £30million, the structure of the payments means Newcastle would receive the full fee — in five instalments of £6m — only if he stays for the duration of his five-year contract.

Speaking ahead of the match against Stoke, manager Mauricio Pochettino said he expects the 27-year-old to make an impact this season.

"He is a player who can help us a lot," said Pochettino. "Last season at Newcastle and the Euros he was fantastic. It is another player who can help us. [We have a] very good squad.
