Former Tottenham player Moussa Sissoko returned to Watford.

Watford officially announced the recruitment on its official website on the 10th (Korea Standard Time), saying, `We welcome the return of Sissoko, who returned after signing a two-year contract as a free agent, and we are delighted.'

Watford introduced Sissoko as `Sissoko, who finished second in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) for Tottenham Hotspur, played 71 matches for France and also advanced to the Euro 2016 final for his country.'



Watford manager Tom Cleverly said "We all know Sissoko's quality as a player and he is still playing at a very high level. He will be a key player in this year's team"Sissoko welcomed Watford's return with open arms.

Sissoko made his debut in Toulouse and moved to Newcastle in the 2013-2014 season, entering the English Premier League (EPL). Sissoko, who energizes the midfield based on her excellent physical condition and athletic ability, has jumped into a key player for Newcastle in two seasons. Sissoko, who became a high-quality midfielder with tireless physical strength at Newcastle, joined Tottenham in the 2016-2017 season.

When he joined Tottenham, he showed an Altoran-like performance as a rotation member, not a main player, but became a love-hate player for Tottenham fans. It was the UCL final of the 2018-2019 season. Amsterdam's miracle against Ajax in the UCL semi-finals saw Tottenham reach the first UCL final in the club's history.

It was a great opportunity for Tottenham, which had suffered from exhausting spectators since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season, to reach the top of Europe by winning the UCL. Sissoko started the day and took charge of Tottenham's midfield, but ruined the game in the first minute of the game.



Sissoko gestured to the players behind him when Sadio Mane caught the ball in the penalty box. Mane saw this and won a penalty when he hit Sissoko's arm. I understand Sissoko's behavior, but I should have been very careful about raising my hand in the penalty box.

Sissoko's ridiculous handball foul dragged Tottenham away when they lost a point on a penalty kick in the second minute of the match. Tottenham had to take advantage of the weaknesses of Jürgen Klopp's 'heavy metal' football to win against Liverpool, but Liverpool did not come up aggressively when they scored the first goal.

Tottenham had only Son Heung-min who could overcome the dense defense. Harry Kane, who was injured but forced to return, was not even seen. Other players failed to bring cracks to their solid Liverpool defence. In the end, Tottenham ended up collapsing 0-2 in the second half when they lost a point to Divock Origi. On this day, Son Heung-min shed tears without hesitation.

Sissoko left for Watford after the 2020-2021 season. After playing for Watford for a year, he moved to Nantes and played for two seasons before returning to Watford. It is to give Watford a boost to their challenge to promote to the EPL.
