It was interesting to hear him talk about a whole range of subjects, including the fact that Newcastle United had 'vetoed' a move away from Tyneside in the summer.
When asked about whether he had an agreement with Newcastle that he could leave next summer, the French international was evasive and just said that he wanted to do his best for Newcastle this season and then hopefully do the same for his country at Euro 2016, which is being held in France.
He told France Football that he can take or leave speaking to the media and would be happy just to 'stay in the corner', yet we have heard a succession of interviews over the past couple of years, where Sissoko has repeatedly said he wants to move to a club that can give him Champions League football.
However,this was one answer taken out of context and misrepresented by the English media.
