Sissoko, 30, joined Spurs from Newcastle United in 2016 for a then club-record fee and has steadily won over many of his detractors, becoming one of Mauricio Pochettino’s most dependable players in midfield.
The France international made just 23 Premier League starts in his first two seasons at the club, with transfer rumours often linking him to an exit.
Criticism from some supporters centred on a perceived lack of technical ability, while even Pochettino accepted in November 2016 the reported £30million acquisition was failing to meet expectations.
