Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has warned French midfielder Moussa Sissoko he must raise his game if he wants to win a place in the first team. Sissoko joined Spurs from Newcastle United in a club record-equalling 30 million pounds ($37.3 million, 35.1 million euros) deal during the close season. “Football is not about money,” Pochettino said in comments published by British newspapers on Monday. “Because we paid money we need to put the player to play? Of course he needs to work hard and show in the future he deserves to be involved in the team.”
