Mauricio Pochettino tells record signing Moussa Sissoko he doesn't deserve Tottenham place

Mauricio Pochettino has warned Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko his club record transfer fee counts for nothing when it comes to team selection.

Spurs signed Sissoko in a deal worth up to £30million in the summer - equalling the amount they paid for Erik Lamela in 2013 - but the Frenchman has endured a difficult start to life at White Hart Lane.

Sissoko has made only four Premier League starts this term and Pochettino chose not to include him even on the bench for his side's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday.
