What is the saying? A picture is worth a thousand words? Well, Moussa Sissoko's relieved expression told its own story after the midfielder posed for photographs following his deadline day move from Newcastle United to Spurs.
To think, just a few hours earlier, Sissoko was still a Newcastle player after the Magpies demanded what the France international termed a 'special offer' for one of their prized assets in 2016. Sissoko, as a result, was facing up to the very real possibility of playing in the Championship having already burnt his bridges with Newcastle supporters with his repeated demands to leave that summer.
"I will be honest with you," he told ChronicleLive. "I was worried because the deadline was at 11pm. It was 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, 5pm and the time was flying and I was still in the same position.
