Flocking to emerged footage on social media, many Spurs fans have waxed lyrical over £18 million-rated colossus Moussa Sissoko after his performance during the 2-0 victory over West Ham – describing him as ‘immense‘ and the ‘heir to Dembele’s throne‘.
Sissoko, starting 21 games under manager Jose Mourinho this season, has averaged an impressive 87.3% pass accuracy since the start of the 2019/2020 campaign – marking himself as one of Spurs’ reliable enforcers.
Footage of the Frenchman cleaning up a messy situation in midfield on Tuesday evening further highlights why these Spurs supporters rate him so highly, with his SofaScore numbers proving just how effective he was against the Hammers.
Indeed, Sissoko won 5/7 ground duels and completed 91% of his attempted passes, leaving little wonder as to why Lilywhites from all over Twitter are drooling over his performance.
Jose Mourinho’s side edged past their London rivals courtesy of strikes from Tomas Soucek (OG) and Harry Kane, keeping them in the race for European football next season.
Here’s how supporters lauded the 30-year-old down below.
He has come so far since we signed him. No one knew he would be the heir to Moussa Dembele’s throne, but here we are.

He’s actually immense. Just came back from injury and played well in both games while at DM https://t.co/3XsydY4A5R

That tackle was the best individual bit of play in the game. Such power and grace.
