Hugo Lloris believes that Tottenham Hotspur and France teammate Moussa Sissoko "needs to play more next season".

Hugo Lloris has claimed that Moussa Sissoko "needs to play more next season", implying that it could hinder France's preparations for the 2018 World Cup if he is not getting first-team football.

The midfielder became Tottenham Hotspur's record signing when he moved from Newcastle United for £30m last August, becoming Lloris's teammate for both club and country.

However, Sissoko made just eight starts last season, failing to score in any competition, and was omitted from Tottenham's squad for the current tour of the United States through illness.

Lloris told The Mirror: "It's not an easy situation for him, for the team and for the manager. Obviously the manager would prefer to have him in the squad and involved in our USA tour but unfortunately he cannot be here.

"But Moussa is strong in his mind. Last season was a bit frustrating for him and he's got a lot to prove. Everything can happen but I know Moussa and he's still committed to what we do. He's important for the French national team but he obviously needs to play more than last season."

West Bromwich Albion and Everton have been credited with an interest in Sissoko.
