Flop Transfer at Panathinaikos – Player Insisted On Signing

Moussa Sissoko's transfer to Panathinaikos has proven to be a failure. The French midfielder was injured in just his second training session, with the exact nature of the injury remaining unclear for several days. He returned after a 25-day absence, but suffered another hamstring injury, effectively ending his season, having played only 142 minutes. Coach Benitez had insisted on his signing, but the situation now exposes him, as the transfer has yielded no benefit to the team.
