Sissoko flattered by English interest

The 19-year-old has already made more than 60 Ligue 1 outings and been capped 12 times by the French U21 side.

And the youngster's polished performances are believed to attracted the interest of both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, with Spurs also being tipped to land Sissoko's Toulouse team-mate Etienne Capoue.

However, Sissoko insists that while he is flattered to be linked with such high-profile suitors, he is focussed solely on playing well in Ligue 1 again next season.

"I am flattered by those links, but, to be honest, president [Olivier] Sadran never said anything to me yet about any bid.

"For me, I will play for Toulouse until something is said to me. I am happy here and going abroad is not in my mind yet."
