Tottenham fans have been left divided after reports emerged that Yves Bissouma is closing in on a move to Galatasaray.
Tottenham Hotspur have not overseen too many permanent departures in this summer window, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s £17 million switch to Marseille standing out so far, alongside Heung-min Son’s £20 million move to LAFC.
However, another significant exit could soon follow, as one of the club’s midfielders appears to be on the verge of leaving after attracting plenty of interest from across Europe.
Fresh reports suggest that Galatasaray are now closing in on the signing of Yves Bissouma, with personal terms already agreed between the player and the Turkish side.
Tottenham fans react to Yves Bissouma transfer news
Spurs fans have wasted no time in taking to social media to share their thoughts on the potential departure, and the reactions have been a mixed bag.
One fan wrote: “The way he performed against Bodo and United in the UEL deserves respect. Absolutely the right decision to sell him, however.”
Another added: “Good riddance. Three good games a year with a ton of attitude problems. Ndombele-lite.” A further supporter commented: “Best time for him to go off those Europa performances. Hope it is around £20 million. Good luck Biss.”
One Tottenham fan simply said: “Thank god.” Others showed more appreciation, with one fan noting: “On his day he was truly special, would not have won Europa without him. All the best in Gala Biss.”
Another posted: “Europa League final performance one of his best. Fitting ending.” And one more wrote: “Show him some love man, turned up in Bilbao when we really needed him, deserves at least that.”
Spurs midfield options after Yves Bissouma exit
Bissouma’s time at Tottenham was far from straightforward, as he often struggled to find consistency, particularly last season.
Despite that, he still played a key role in Spurs’ run to silverware in Europe, delivering strong displays in the semi-final and final of the Europa League.
Thomas Frank, however, has already moved to bolster his midfield by securing Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich, with the Portuguese international expected to anchor the centre of the pitch.
Tottenham and Galatasaray are now said to be working on finalising a loan move for Bissouma, with an obligation to buy set to be included in the agreement.
