Moussa Sissoko denies he has been a flop at Tottenham.
The French midfielder has struggled to win over Spurs fans since joining them from Newcastle for a then joint-club record fee of £30million two years ago.
He even wanted to quit the North Londoners last summer after a miserable first season at the club in which he made just eight Prem starts.
And despite 15 League starts last term he hardly pulled up trees and was left out of France’s victorious World Cup squad.
But Sissoko insisted: “No, I think my first season here wasn’t easy. I came late, I didn’t have pre-season and it was a new challenge for me.
“But last year I played a lot of games and I did well like the team. This year is going to be the same. I will try to play more and I will try to do better and better.
“I’m happy with everyone here. The staff are always happy with me and so I’ll keep going.”
Sissoko is set to feature for Tottenham when they face Barcelona here in the early hours of Sunday in the second match of their pre-season tour.
He impressed as Spurs kicked off their trip with a 4-1 win over Roma in San Diego on Thursday.
He said: “It’s important to train well and take these games seriously to try to be ready for the first game of the season.
