One particular issue that had baffled many fans was the fact that the Newcastle United midfielder was rather dull last season as the ex-Premier League outfit were demoted to the Championship. But judging from the performance of the 26-year-old star on Sunday against Seleccao, he does not seem to be ready to play Championship football next season. Several clubs are said to be monitoring him in France and this brilliant piece of skill could as well increase his value at the transfer window. Watch it below:

Where's this fella Sissoko from?!?!?

Sissoko seems to be the only man in his soft team. His desire, workrate, power are awesome.

Nothing special in the first 45 minutes, you'd expect more in a Euro final. Sissoko running the show so far, Pogba very poor.
