Moussa Sissoko makes shock claim over Mauricio Pochettino summer exit to stun Spurs fans

Mauricio Pochettino could leave Tottenham Hotspur after the Champions League final according to Moussa Sissoko.

The Argentinian has admitted as much himself in recent weeks, especially if Spurs win, and it could be argued that victory over Liverpool would be the culmination of his work in north London.

Speaking in an interview on Canel+, the France international revealed his concerns over what could happen if there is a change on the sidelines this summer.

Over the past 18 months, Sissoko has become a key figure for Spurs, after having originally struggled to make an impact at the club.

He joined Tottenham in 2016 as the club's record signing from Newcastle United on the final day of the summer transfer window.

This season his importance has only grown due to the departure of Mousa Dembele in January and injuries to Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama.

Pochettino's successor may not be so patient, or willing to find a purpose for Sissoko, according to the player himself.

"At the end of the season, it could be that they have a new project, that a new coach comes, and he doesn’t count on me, he wants to sell me," he said on Canel+, as reported by Get French Football News.

"Many different things could happen. But for the moment I feel good there, I am happy there. And in my head I have no thoughts of leaving."

Pochettino has named as a potential option for Juventus this summer due to the imprending departure of head coach Max Allegri.

He has previously been linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid only for the two clubs to appoint Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Zinedine Zidane, respectively.

Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also believed to be admirers of the Argentinian.
