Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma is unhappy with his treatement under mutliple managers and is set to give up the final year option on his contract in order to leave the Premier League club this summer.
Tottenham facing mass exodus this summer
Tottenham are braced for interest in several first team players this summer regardless of whether they keep their position in the Premier League.
Centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven could both depart, with Spurs eyeing a move for 18 year-old centre-back Karim Coulibaly.
Further forward, Mikey Moore is the subject of interest from Rangers, who would like to make his move permanent after a stunning loan spell at Ibrox.
“It’s tough to see people you care about and some of your mates going through a tough time," Moore said this week.
“It’s a club I care about so much. For us to be in the position we’re in is not nice. Sometimes I wish I could go back and help but there are some top players there who should be able to help get us out of the position we’re in and push on next season.
“There is enough quality in that team to get out of it.”
Bissouma is another surrounded by uncertainty, and the player and club are now set to cancel the extra year option on his contract in order to facilitate a move this summer, Football FanCast sources understand.
The Mali international has a one-year extension option to keep him in North London until the summer of 2027, but is unhappy with his treatement under both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank, having been dropped from the squad on multiple occasions.
His agent is already in talks with Fenerbahce to join the Turkish giants at the end of the season.
Bissouma wages and controversies
The former Brighton man is near the bottom of Tottenham's wage bill on £55,000-a-week - click for full list.
Signed for £30m in 2022, he was dropped from the squad under Postecoglou after a video surfaced showing him inhaling nitrous oxide - widely known as laughing gas.
Frank later axed the midfielder for repeated lateness and his attitude in training, and again when more footage showed him using laughing gas, this time while sidelined with an ankle injury.
“It’s an internal matter that we are dealing with at the moment and when we have dealt with that, then I will comment on it.” - Thomas Frank
Guglielmo Vicario agrees to leave Spurs this summer
Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario also appears to be on his way out this year, having been dropped in dramatic circumstances under Igor Tudor.
The Italian has reportedly agreed a deal to return to his homeland to join Inter, who will shell out around €20m (£17m) for his signature, a healthy fee for Tottenham, having spent a similar figure to bring him in three years ago.
Inter have already sent directors to London to discuss terms and agree a contract with Vicario, with just the club-to-club details left to finalise.
