Sissoko hoping for international joy after club misery

The 26-year-old struggled with relegated Newcastle United last season but is looking to put that to bed with victory with Les Bleus at Euro 2016

Moussa Sissoko is hoping France's run to the final of Euro 2016 will make up for his lack of success in club football.

Sissoko struggled to make an impression as Newcastle United suffered relegation from the Premier League last season, but has looked a different player over the past month with a series of impressive displays for his country.

Having won a regular place in the side, after being named as a substitute in their first two group games, he now appears certain to start Sunday's final against Portugal in Paris.
