Moussa Sissoko has opened the door to a possible Tottenham exit ahead of this summer.
The 31-year-old midfielder has been with Spurs since his 2016 move from Newcastle United on a deal worth around £30million, racking up more than 140 Premier League appearances since.
He has two years remaining on his current contract, but having started just 15 times in the Premier League this season, Sissoko could well be moved on as Spurs look to strengthen this summer.
And the Frenchman is very much open to that possibility, telling Foot Mercato that he 'does not want to close any doors' heading into the summer transfer market.
“This is my 5th year at the club and I have had some very good moments," said the Frenchman.
"Now, I am a person who does not close any doors. If a new challenge presents itself, we will see what I do. But today, I do not close any doors concerning my future, because as I said, it was a difficult year for me at the club.
"I also want to see what the club will decide. Maybe they will say to me: “Moussa, it is time to go elsewhere.” Or maybe they will say to me: 'Moussa, we absolutely want you to stay.' In any case, I am open to all propositions today because I have experienced quite a difficult year.
"I want to play football. I am happiest when I am on the pitch. I will soon be 32 so I am closer to the end than the beginning of my career.
"What I want, is to continue to play, and enjoy myself. So I am not saying that I absolutely want to leave Tottenham. I feel good over there, I have had good moments and I feel good with the fans and my teammates, who I get on well with.
"We will speak with the club and we will take a decision at that moment.”
