Tottenham have confirmed Yves Bissouma will leave the club when his contract expires this summer.

The 29-year-old joined Spurs in 2022, making 111 appearances after his high-profile move from Brighton.

Spurs have also confirmed a group of under-21 players who will leave the club, including Pele Arganese-McDermott, Tyrell Ashcroft, Leo Black, Dante Cassanova, Matthew Craig and Calum Logan.

Long-serving defender Ben Davies has committed a further year to the club in agreeing a new deal.

"It's been a huge part of my football journey," Davies said.

"I am just grateful for what the club has given me so far in my career.

"When you have the new manager come in, that first session and game you want to impress. I didn't have that opportunity this year. My first conversation was that I wasn't going to be around to help him on the pitch (due to inuury). I was around pretty much every meeting and game, trying to help the guys.

"Seeing the way he's come in and lifted this group in a really tough spot, he lifted us, the fans, the club, having his presence and confidence, we can feel a lot of relief. The job he has done is amazing but I am excited to see what he brings in the future for this club.

"He's incredibly passionate. It's honestly a pleasure to watch. There are new ideas every day. On an emotional level he's incredibly smart - he knows when the players need a pick me up or a dressing down."

Experienced Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies has signed a new one-year contract until the end of next season.

Davies' current deal was due to expire at the end of the month and he was set to leave the club.

The 33-year-old Wales international, who joined Spurs from Swansea in July 2014, will take his stay at the north London club into a 13th year.

Davies has been a key player for the club over the years and Tottenham's hierarchy view his experience and leadership qualities as key during Roberto de Zerbi's first full season in charge.

He had surgery on a broken ankle in January and was restricted to just three Premier League appearances last season as Spurs narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship.

The countdown to the World Cup is well and truly on, so here's a reminder of the Spurs players selected to represent their countries from 11 June to 19 July.

The expanded 48-team competition is set to be the biggest in history, with the United States, Canada and Mexico hosting.

Brighton are expecting Tottenham to return with another bid for defender Jan Paul van Hecke after rejecting their initial offer.

Van Hecke, who is part of the Netherlands' World Cup squad, has a year left on his contract and new Spurs boss Roberto de Zerbi is keen to be reunited with the 25-year-old after working with him at Brighton.

The Brighton defender would be one of De Zerbi's first signings - after signing former Liverpool defender Andy Robertson - if this deal materialised, and shows how he is looking to boost his squad with players he knows well from his previous managerial roles.

Which other former De Zerbi players would you like to see Spurs target this summer and why? And do you think this is a good recruitment strategy for the club?

Former Tottenham Hotspur executive chairman Daniel Levy has sold a 24.99% stake in the club's parent company Enic to Eight Sports Capital, the sports investment group has claimed.

The move would leave Levy with a 4.89% stake in Enic.

He stepped down in September 2025 after 24 years in the role following a restructuring triggered by the club's ultimate owners, the Lewis Family Trust.

Eight Sports Capital Ltd is a sports investment company owned by Triller, an American entertainment and technology company that is owned by Wing-Fai Ng and Richard Tsai.

Eight Sports Capital's chief executive is American tech entrepreneur Brooklyn Earick, who headed up a consortium that said it was prepared to buy the club last September.

At the time, Tottenham "unequivocally rejected" the informal expression of interest.

There have been no details on the price Eight Sports Capital have apparently paid for their stake, although on 26 September, BBC Sport reported the club was valued at just under the £4.25bn Clearlake Capital paid for Chelsea in 2022, which would value a near 25% stake at close to £1bn.

"We are delighted to have signed this agreement to acquire a significant stake in Enic. We look forward to working with the club's shareholders, management, staff, players and fans to support Tottenham Hotspur's continued growth and success," said a spokesperson for Eight Sports Capital.

Earick is described as an engineer, founder and serial technology entrepreneur who has raised more than $25bn (£18.65bn) from family offices, sovereign wealth funds and leading institutions worldwide. He is also a lifelong Tottenham fan.

Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, Earick worked as an engineer at NASA Ames Research Center, contributing to small spacecraft and satellite technology.

Until his abrupt exit, Levy had been the public face of Tottenham for almost a quarter of a century.

He was credited with inspiring Tottenham's state-of-the-art training ground and magnificent 62,850-capacity stadium, the second biggest club ground in England behind Old Trafford, which was opened in 2019 and also hosts annual NFL games on an artificial surface that is kept underneath the grass pitch.

Former Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has ruled out a return to football management before next season, telling BBC Sport "this summer is not the right time".

The Dane was sacked by Spurs midway through last season, despite only being appointed last June.

Frank, who previously managed Brentford, has been linked with a number of roles since leaving the London club in February.

The 52-year-old featured on Crystal Palace's shortlist to replace Oliver Glasner and has also been connected to the vacancy at Fulham.

In a statement, Frank said he has had opportunities to return to work since leaving Tottenham but revealed his intention not to step back into the dugout this summer.

Frank, who is part of BBC Sport's World Cup punditry team, also spoke of his nine months in charge at Tottenham and insisted the club has a "bright future" despite two consecutive 17th-placed finishes.

The statement read: "I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has reached out over the past few months. Your support and encouragement have been greatly appreciated.

"Leaving Tottenham has given me the chance to step back and reflect on my journey so far. Football management is a profession that demands complete commitment every single day, and periods like this are a rare opportunity to assess, learn and gain a fresh perspective.

"From the outside, it may have looked like a time of many challenges at Tottenham when results were not what we wanted. From within, however, it becomes clear why the club is so special - full of talented people who work tirelessly every day. I have no doubt Tottenham has a bright future.

"Football remains a huge part of who I am, and I have chosen to use this time productively. Over the coming months, besides spending time with family and friends, I will continue studying, observing and learning from other leaders both within sport and beyond it.

"I am also looking forward to covering the World Cup for Danish television and the BBC, as well as experiencing the Tour de France. Time away from the touchline is allowing me to broaden my perspective and gather insights that I look forward to bringing into my next challenge.

"There have been conversations and opportunities since leaving Spurs, but I have decided not to rush into the next role. For me, this summer is not the right time to go back into management.

"When the time is right, I will look forward to my return as a manager, ready to embrace the job with great energy and dedication."

Tottenham Hotspur boss Roberto de Zerbi has said Spurs have signed a "proven winner" as Andy Robertson's free transfer from Liverpool was confirmed.

The 32-year-old, who will captain Scotland at the upcoming World Cup, will join Spurs officially on 1 July when his Liverpool contract expires.

He won numerous honours during his nine years at Anfield, including the Champions League, two Premier League titles and the Fifa Club World Cup, and will join a Tottenham side that narrowly avoided relegation in the final weeks of the Premier League season.

De Zerbi said: "Andy is someone I've admired for a number of years and he will bring outstanding technical qualities, experience, leadership and mentality to our team.

"He is a proven winner at the highest level over a long period and is someone who can be a big player for us, both on and off the pitch.

"I can't wait to start working with him and seeing the positive impact he will have on everyone around him."

In a video message to fans posted on Spurs' X account, left-back Robertson said: "I cannot wait to play for you guys, I cannot wait to meet you guys, I cannot wait to play in the stadium for the first time in front of you and I'm already looking forward to next season."

Tottenham have signed Scotland captain Andy Robertson on a free transfer following his departure from Liverpool.

The 32-year-old left-back, who had already announced he would leave the Reds when his contract expired this summer, will become a Spurs player on 1 July.

Tottenham, then managed by Thomas Frank, targeted Robertson during the January transfer window.

A deal was agreed between the two clubs, only for Liverpool to pull out when they were unable to recall Kostas Tsimikas from his loan at Roma.

Spurs secured Premier League survival on the final day of the season by beating Everton under new manager Roberto de Zerbi.

"Andy is someone I've admired for a number of years and he will bring outstanding technical qualities, experience, leadership and mentality to our team," said De Zerbi.

"He is a proven winner at the highest level over a long period and is someone who can be a big player for us, both on and off the pitch."

After joining Liverpool from Hull City in 2017, Robertson played 378 times for the club and won two Premier League titles and the Champions League.

He also won the League Cup twice as well as the FA Cup, and will add to his 92 caps for Scotland when he leads his country at this summer's World Cup.

Tottenham's sporting director Johan Lange said: "His quality, character and leadership have been evident throughout a career in which he has regularly competed for - and won - major honours.

"Andy's professionalism and commitment will also be invaluable to the development of our squad, and he shares our ambition and determination to bring success back to the club."
