Ronald Koeman has dismissed claims from Moussa Sissoko which indicate the French midfielder never wanted to leave Newcastle for Everton.
Sissoko completed a deadline day transfer to Tottenham, who swooped in at the last moment to gazump the Toffees in the race for the 27-year-old.
And since moving to White Hart Lane, Sissoko has revealed he never went to Everton to finalise a deal, with a transfer to Goodison Park never on the table.
However, Koeman has dismissed these claims, revealing he spoke to the Frenchman - who showed his interest in signing for Everton.
