There’s a claim in the Turkish media that Fenerbahce are showing interest in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma.

Jose Mourinho is keen to strengthen his midfield this summer, and the Spurs player has emerged as a target. There’s been recent reports Fred could leave the Yellow Canaries and Bissouma would be seen as a like for like replacement.

Hurriyet today report on Fenerbahce’s pursuit for Bissouma, and they say the Istanbul side have entered into transfer talks to sign the Mali international.

It’s claimed the Tottenham midfielder’s agent has been contacted by the Super Lig club and that Spurs are looking to offload him this summer.

According to the Turkish newspaper, Fenerbahce have offered to loan the 28-year-old, with an option to buy. However, Spurs are reportedly keen to sell Bissouma in a permanent deal as they look to raise transfer funds.

Negotiations are now likely to continue as both parties look to come to an agreement.

Bissouma made 44 appearances this season, scoring two goals. He’s contracted to the Premier League side until June 2026, which means a loan would be difficult.
