In the eyes of Evra, Sissoko is now a key influence in the Spurs starting XI and his contributions could be huge in terms o🐎f a potential title charge.

He said on Sky Sports before yesterday’s game (): “Mourinho teams are very d🍎ifficult to beat and he has a strong midfie🐽ld.

“I wo🧔uld like to talk about Sissoko because we don’t give enough credit to a player like him.

“Such a generous player, he can cover Serge Auriꦺer, really generous, strong, so I think that’s where they’re winning the games, in the midfield.”

Sissoko’s mobility, energy and tenacity is clear to see and it’s not difficult to see why Mourinho routinely pi♈cks him.

He may not be a fancy technician that co꧑nt♛ributions goals and assists, but the work he does in the engine room and the help he gives to Serge Aurier is invaluable.

He didn’t end up having his best outing against Palace yesterday, but sꩵuccessful teams need players with traits like Sissoko in order 🦹for the superstars to go and express themselves, and Mourinho knows that full well.
