Yves Bissouma finally closes in on Tottenham exit two weeks after disciplinary action

Yves Bissouma’s time at Tottenham Hotspur looks to be drawing to a close, with the midfielder now on the verge of sealing a move away from north London.

Yves Bissouma’s future at Tottenham Hotspur has been up in the air all summer, following what was largely seen as a disappointing campaign in the Lilywhite shirt last season.

Despite his poor form, interest in the 28-year-old has not been scarce, with clubs in Turkey, England and even the Middle East all making enquiries over Bissouma’s availability.

The Mali International has just 12 months left on his current deal at Tottenham, and with no renewal talks on the table, the prospect of him leaving on a free transfer next summer looks increasingly likely if Spurs do not cash in now.

Bissouma was left out of Tottenham’s Super Cup squad against PSG due to disciplinary reasons, meaning his last competitive match for the club came in the 4-1 defeat to Brighton last season.

Yves Bissouma set to join Galatasaray from Tottenham

A fresh update from journalist Fabrice Hawkins on X has now provided clarity on Bissouma’s situation at Tottenham, with the journalist revealing that the midfielder is set to join Galatasaray this summer.

According to his report, personal terms between Bissouma and the Turkish champions have already been agreed, while talks between Tottenham and Galatasaray are now at the final stage. It appears to be only a matter of time before the switch is confirmed.

Sharing the latest development on his X account, Hawkins wrote: “Yves Bissouma is set to join Galatasaray. Negotiations at final stage between Tottenham and Gala for the transfer of the midfielder. Personal terms already agreed.”

Spurs close to agreeing loan with obligation to buy deal

Should an agreement be finalised between the two clubs, Bissouma may well have played his final match for Tottenham. His last appearance feels distant, as he has not featured for Tottenham since his omission from Thomas Frank’s UEFA Super Cup squad.

Journalist Mike McGrath has also provided more details on the structure of the deal being discussed by Spurs and Galatasaray. According to the reporter, it is believed that Galatasaray are looking to sign Bissouma on loan, with an obligation to buy the 28-year-old later.

With a few days left in the British summer transfer window, it now looks very likely that Tottenham could secure the departure of one of their senior midfielders.
