Moussa Sissoko signed for north London outfit Tottenham for a fee of £30m on transfer deadline day, as Mauricio Pochettino’s added yet another quality player to their squad. The move was a bit sudden, with the Frenchman all set to move to Goodison Park initially. With the move to White Hart Lane, the Spurs fans were a bit confused on how to react, knowing about the 27 year old superstar’s love for Arsenal, which he has expressed often over the years.
Further, many of the Gooners also pointed out the same and did not wait for the first derby of the season between the two clubs and started mocking their fierce rivals.
With such unconditional love for the domestic rivals, Pochettino would know that though he has a gem, it will be tough for him to win the fans over and this is something the Arsenal faithful exploited on social media, as their trolled the Spurs fans.
Here are how the fans reacted on Twitter, after the move was completed on deadline day:
