Everton are showing interest in a summer move for Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma, journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed.
The Toffees have reportedly earmarked the £100,000-a-week 28-year-old as a potential reinforcement in the middle of the park and are among several English clubs considering a move.
Championship winners Leeds United were linked with the Mali international earlier this week, while Everton could also enter the mix as they prepare to part ways with several midfielders.
Veteran Abdoulaye Doucoure has confirmed his departure upon the expiry of his contract, while injured loanee Orel Mangala is set to return to Lyon at the end of June.

Jacobs, speaking on Last Word on Spurs, revealed that Bissouma has no shortage of suitors this summer, with Everton potentially among those keeping tabs on the 28-year-old:
“Bissouma is aware of this volume of interest, even Everton, I'm told, could come into the mix as well.
“Because they're going to be losing a couple of midfielders, and are also looking to strengthen in that area too.”
Bissouma, who joined Spurs from Brighton in 2022, has struggled for regular Premier League minutes this term, making just 16 starts and 12 further appearances off the bench.
The 'unbelievable' Mali international is likely to see his future resolved in the coming months, as he has just over a year remaining on his North London contract, which runs until June 2026.
Everton are seemingly seeking proven Premier League experience ahead of their new era at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and have also been linked with an audacious move to re-sign Manchester City defender John Stones.
According to GIVEMESPORT sources, the Toffees have made initial enquiries over the England international’s availability this summer as they aim to bring in another quality centre-back to complement the likes of James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite.
