West Ham United and Everton are ready to offer Tottenham exit routes to Yves Bissouma in January.
The 29-year-old midfielder needs to move on as he is not wanted at the North London Club. He is linked to clubs in Türkiye and Saudi Arabia. However, the winner of the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League has refused the opportunity to join them, and he wants to stay in the Premier League.
He has been frozen in Tottenham since Thomas Frank arrived. The player is currently at the first team fringe. He is about to play more frequently in the coming months. Leaving Tottenham in January is his number one priority. According to football insiders, Everton and West Ham are passionate about players and it will be interesting to see where he goes.
Yves Bissouma improves both teams
He showed his quality in the Premier League with Brighton and Tottenham. There’s no doubt he’ll improve both teams. Everton and West Ham looked defensively vulnerable. They need someone who can protect the back four and break the offensive moves of the opposition. Mari International may be the perfect ideal for them. He’s well settled in the Premier League. He could quickly make an impact.
Bissouma needs to go ahead
The midfielder was still at the peak of his strength, and he was able to improve both teams. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Tottenham rarely gets in his way. If the appropriate offer is presented, they could sanction his departure.
It will be interesting to see if the midfielder will force his own path to his first team plan at Tottenham in the coming weeks and get some game under his belt before the transfer window resumes in January.
